#2 however small a woman's honor is to you, WE care.
Of course they followed it. What, you think that it is something that does not matter?
You do see what this proves, don't you?
If this was faked, what is to prove that any of the things said are true?

Good.
What took you so long?

#5 Miss, you're mistaking sarcasm for agreement.

It's a setup, and rather a transparent setup at that. Why fake it in Sudan? Why fake it, for that matter, with Sudanese? Chad is next door, and there are other places where it could be done with even less chance of being caught.

#6 Gentle, are you saying that arresting people for 'faking' a video is more important then stopping the actual real-life gang-rapes (sometimes of young girls) and murders?

The 'fake' video has much less to do with the woman's 'honor' (since 'the woman' who's honor you are so concerned about is a willingly participated who is acting the victim) then a real, actual, physical rape (where the girl who's honor you are less concerned about is unwilling to participate and is being violated against her will).

Several people have stated (and physical, medical, evidence has been reported) that they had been gang-raped by the militants of Sudan -- and that it is commonplace. There is the undeniable physical evidence of burned-out villages.

#7 And your reaction, by the way, is precisely what it's supposed to be.

"If this was faked, what is to prove that any of the things said are true?"

What's the word I'm looking for... Oh. Yes. "Gullible."

#10 Remember folks, always be nice to the simple. No allen is necessary, but karma rebounds to your benefit.

So, BURN THE KRAM!

I'd go for "deflecting", myself....
