skepticism toward me and because of the fact that most rape cases that cid investigates, there's kind of an assumption that the victim is probably lying in most of them, so i kind of was challenged more on my integrity which was really offensive and difficult for me to deal with because i had a nine-year history of working in very sensitive positions and had, you know, documented integrity throughout my performance evaluation so being treated on a daily basis as if everything i said should be questioned was probably one of the most difficult parts of that for me. it was really as soon as i was known as a rape victim then i was treated like one and i think that's what happens within the military in general also. >> rebekah, let me put that point to you, did you have the same experience as myla? >> i did not, and i did not because i chose to use a restricted reporting option and that's exactly why i chose that

now. >> absolutely. >> were aware of this kind of abuse and basically covered it up. >> very much so and in most cases i encourage the viewers to read the complaints in this lawsuit. it's online on our website. it's egregious what's happening to these women and men commanding officers are absolutely implicit and oftentimes are involved in cover-ups because they don't want to be seen as having a problem in their unit. it's considered a leadership failure. it is if when something is reported to you don't act on it and you don't defend the women and men in your own unit. >> let me go back to myla and rebekah and ask them for your reaction to what secretary gates was saying. i mean as i say what struck me when i heard him was this idea that somehow now this is a priority. what was your reaction to that? let me ask you first -- let me ask myla first. >> there's -- it has been several years since i got out of the military and i've been following the issue and there have been a string of excuses

that you're concerned about is when these get reported, they get thrown under the rug. no one seems to bother with them and take them seriously but we're also joined now by a second victim, myla haider. myla, tell me about your story. >> i was actually -- i spent six years in the army before i decided to become an agent with the u.s. army criminal investigation command, and i had to do an internship in order to submit an application to be a criminal investigator. it was during that internship that the rape occurred. after my internship i went to hunter 1st airborne division, went to afghanistan, went to iraq, and i went to become a cid agent. after about a year of becoming an agent, i received a phone call that the person who attacked me was being investigated as a serial sex offender and my cooperation was

we'll refer it to his command, and they will make the final decision, and i've never heard what that decision has been, and it's been seven months since they were supposed to get back with me on that. >> myla, the option that rebekah is talking about, what is that exactly, and why didn't you take it? >> the restricted reporting option is an option in which a victim can report the crime to only certain individuals including medical personnel, and the necessary evidence will be collected, and then the victim can maintain some level of confidentiality, but they are actually ordered not to talk to anybody else about it, not even friends, and they are held to that if they decide on that option. i was not aware of that option. it was in 2004 that the majority of -- that when i started with my case, and i'm not sure if that option existed at that

military in general also. >> rebekah, let me put that point to you, did you have the same experience as myla? >> i did not, and i did not because i chose to use a restricted reporting option and that's exactly why i chose that way. i knew there would be os straw skrichl. and i didn't want to deal with any of that. at the time i wasn't emotionally ready for any of that and i made that decision for me, not for anybody else. that was purely for my own sanity and then later when i did report it and i did start an official investigation, it took a lot of time. i didn't hear anything for four months then i got called in to say somebody new has your case and we need you to redo the whole interrogation again and at that point, you know, i was not real happy with the situation.

cooperation was requested for the investigation so i cooperated with the investigation and the offender was not convict ed of any of th sex related offenses against several different women. he was not placed on a sex offender registry and my -- within two months of the trial, my command began administrative discharge proceedings so after 9 1/2 years my career was over within months of the trial. >> so myla, in essence, you end up getting sexually abused and raped and get thrown out of the military and this is after nine years of great service to your country? >> right, i was administratively discharged and i spent five years after my discharge fighting with the department of defense to get my record
