HOUSTON (AP) — A former civilian defense contractor was charged Friday with sexually assaulting a woman at an Iraqi air base.

David Charles Breda Jr., 34, is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in October at Camp Al Asad, Iraq, where he was employed by a subsidiary of Houston-based military contractor KBR Inc.

Breda, who lived in the Houston suburb of Pearland before he left for Iraq, was arrested Thursday at a Houston-area barber college by agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. A call to his attorney was not immediately returned.

The federal indictment returned Friday in Houston marks the latest allegation of sexual assault involving civilians working for contractors in Iraq.

1. When these criminal military actions are over I hope...

we can all agree that outsourcing the war to contractors on no bid deals is not the way to go, right?

2. I have no respect for these mercenaries

That's all they are- soldiers of fortune. The lowest of the low. Killing for the highest bidder.

3. It's about time someone from KBR paid for their crime, though I guess that

remains to be seen.
