Iraqi woman gang-raped by those wonderful security forces

A brave Iraqi woman (who knows how many other women there are who were afraid to talk?) reports that she was gang-raped by the great Iraq security forces. Americans took her to an investigative judge, and after her moment in court, she was raped again. She was also beaten and threatened with death if she told anyone about the rape.

The next time I hear Laura Bush or John McCain talk about what we've done for the Iraqi people--and specifically, for women--I may have to break something. As James Ridgeway says, someone in Congress, including the "feminists" and "liberals," had better say the words "war crimes" soon.
