Tracy K Barker, A forgotten Rape Victim of many horrific crimes committed against her while working as a contract employee for Halliburton/KBR had decided in 2004 to work over seas in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and would become the sole support of income for her household when her husband retired and her mother in law had also fallen ill.  At the time of her decision Tracy was and still is an Army dependant married to 1^st Sgt Galen D Barker active duty 25 years and is now a mother of five. Still fighting for justice for herself and other victims after four years she prepares for arbitration, a ruling that was handed down by Judge Miller of Texas based on what little facts, details and evidence were and were not submitted to the court’s.

One cannot wonder if the true facts, details and evidence of Tracy had been submitted to Judge Miller’s Court Room, testified during the five minutes that was offered to speak with Congress in December 2007 had not been stolen from her as she was told that they wanted a white girl from Texas, Jamie Jones, refusing to allow her to speak to the state department in February of 2008 because of conflict of interest of Jamie Jones although Tracy was and has been the only State Department Victim. If Senator Hilary Clinton supported Tracy in 2005 when she wrote her  first letter to Hilary Clinton in search of help but was denied because Tracy was not a resident of New York and denied help by Congressman Ted Poe after he inaccurately stated that Tracy came to him as one of three women for help which had not been true and yet when Tracy’s family called Congressman Ted Poe after the hearing in December 2007 he denied her help because she was not a Texas Resident.

One must ask would Tracy have been awarded a trial and jury on some or all issues. If Tracy had been White as was stated at the congressional hearing in December 2007 would the opportunities that were offered and how Tracy reached out for help been answered making a difference in the outcome of Judge Miller’s ruling.  But instead Tracy was used as a number for Jamie Jones and thrown to the back of the bus and forgotten.

Had Tracy been allowed to testify at any or all opportunities instead of threatened and warned on every level to keep quiet about everything including her horrific ordeal in Iraq Tracy would have stated the truth and presented all physical evidence backing up her facts.  Congress and Judge Miller would have known that Baghdad is also known for Camp Hope or/and The Green Zone and that Baghdad and Basra are actually two different cities and camps that extend several hundreds of miles between one another and during 2004 in the city of Baghdad Tracy had been sexually harassed, receiving cat calls in the barracks as walls never connected to the ceiling and one light switch available for the whole floor. Tracy also witnesses an Iraqi Woman being choked and threats that her supervisor in the city of Baghdad Camp Hope also known as The Green Zone came from the same supervisor.

In retaliation of reporting the incidents Tracy was locked in her living container for three days and, watched as she used the bathroom. Again this happened in the Green Zone in Baghdad.

Tracy was then transferred to Basra in March of 2005, the sexual harassment started once again but by another perpetrator. As she tried to settle into her new office pornography of animals having sex and prostitutes, and Billeting Moto "We Do Anything To Get You In Bed" Posters displayed throughout the offices, as well verbal sexual content continued on a daily basis.

Way too much to bare Tracy reported this conduct to Halliburton/KBR Human Resources in fact Tracy Barker submitted an affidavit of LettySurman to Congress which depicts Basra conditions before Tracy arrived and during the time she was there in 2005 where Letty Surman was the Human Resource manager over Basra at that time. 

Upon Tracy’s return back to Basra Camp with the help of a British Soldier after 19 hours of abandonement in the Iraqi Desert Tracy discovered all of her items missing and in fact the same driver that left her in the desert had actually stolen her personal items and furniture.

As Tracy continued to endure sexual harassment and continued to report this behavior one evening a State Department employee by the name of Ali Mokhtare sexually assaulted Tracy as she fought him to keep him off of her. Escaping the horrific incident in Basra Tracy had reported this to management unfortunately the ones she was reporting to on the Basra Camp was the same managers that were sexually harassing her. Tracy was then forced to wear the same clothes and paraded in the lunch hall, in spite of following every demand Tracy was still denied access to a phone and access to medical care.

Sgt Kevin Rodgers has signed a sworn statement to this account and more including the fact that he had given a cell phone for Tracy to use at this time to call her husband and has also submitted another sworn affidavit indicating that he never knew nor helped Jamie Jones and in fact he was not even in Baghdad but yet Jamie Jones still submitted the original statement of Kevin Rodgers as if it was her own evidence. Tracy was also confined once again in a living container for three days.

Dr. David Pakkal happened to get stranded on Camp Basra and became aware of Tracy’s condition immediately. After speaking with Tracy Dr. Pakkal decided to over ride Halliburton’s intentions on continuing to remove her from the convoy manifest preventing Tracy from leaving to go home. Dr. Pakkal would help Tracy leave Camp Basra.

 The night before Tracy was to leave Tracy fell asleep the following early morning Tracy awoke to one of the men that had been sexually harassing her all this time was rapping her Tracy cried and screamed and ran out of her living container leaving all of her belongings behind.

All of these facts, evidence and a chance to testify to congress on two separate occasions have been stolen from Tracy and even now Tracy remains a forgotten rape victim who has been violated and inaccurately has been called “The Companion Case” in other filings of another alledged victim by the name of Jamie Jones who had reached out to Tracy for help getting Tracys phone number through Lynn Falanga State Department Investigator five months after Tracy was home from her horrific ordeal.
