Subject: Using Kidnapped Slave Labor To Build Our Iraq Embassy

If this Congressional testimony does not blow your mind, then nothing will.

It is the opening statement from Rory Mayberry, a medical tech hired to be sure that OSHA standards of health and safety were in effect, describing how the US State Department is using kidnapped forced labor to build the new "super-embassy" in Baghdad's green zone.

This involves 51 Filipino workers. Their plane was diverted from Dubai to Iraq, they were held at gunpoint, smuggled onto the Green Zone and they have been forced to help build our embassy against their will.

Remember this is sworn Congressional testimony.
