Abu Grahib, I have not heard of any women, or men for that matter, being mamed and raped. Is this just another fact that you keep next to those numbers or do you have some credable link?

Read it and weep. Remember to be DAMN PROUD of your servicemen while you read this...

Ummm......did you read the article you offered in support of your statement. I did. When you stated that "Even the US admits to servicemen fondling, raping and violating women inmates." I figured it was important to see who was saying that. Funny thing...the article you linked does NOT say that. The 'NewStandard' website is a group of anti war rhetoric articles - all written by the same 'Chris Shumway' apparently, and by the looks of it, it's being produced in his dorm room between bong hits. But even this journalist who makes reference to 6 or 7 IRAQI attorneys who claim they have interviewed several female Iraqi prisoners who claim they were raped stops short of claiming that the US knows about rapes. He says the Pentagon is aware of allegations. That doesn't mean anything. Consider the source. I don't know if I give any credence to these supposed female prisoners nor do I know if I believe these attorney's, nor do I know if 'Chris' just thought it all up to impress his girlfried. There are no sources given. What is your problem with mainstream news sources? Oh wait - there in on it too. My bad, I forgot.
