Mercury News

The US State Department confirmed in a recent report on human trafficking that contractors hired by the Department of Defense in Iraq were involved in human trafficking in order to procur workers for menial task. Despite such a strong critique of current policies in Iraq, the report makes no comment on human rights abuses in India, Mexico, Russia, and China, even though all of these nations are known to have major issues with human trafficking.
