#1 Note the use of 'stooges', 'aggressors' and 'puppet'. Treat with extreme scepticism!

#2 Note the lack of reporting on what happens in Arab prisons.

Or, hell, French prisons.

#5 At first glance this sounds like the Iraqis did the raping âunder the gaze of the American soldiers.â This is because they canât disprove âIraqis Stoogesâ because of course they would lie. Not like the truthful spouting Socialist Baâth Party, which is a continual source of accurate information before and after the war. Hell according to them they thought that this prison was some sort of country club that people liked so much they didnât want to leave. Does this make it a solid 45 days of Abu-Grab Ass being in the news? Time for the âpressâ to give this s rest!

#6 "Then she told me how members of the Iraqi puppet police raped her 17 times in one day under the gaze of the American soldiers."

Maybe the "guy" Rantburgers would miss this one. Trust me--if a woman was raped "17 times" she would have lost count. "17" is such an "exact" number . . . makes a good story, though. "Under the gaze of . . . ." plays to the "humiliation" thing--designed to evoke a mental picture.

"Muhammad Dahham al-Muhammad, Chairman of the Federation of Prisoners and Detainees, is preparing affidavits collected by his work team from former women prisoners or their relatives."

Affidavits from these people, who know next to nothing about the Rule of Law, or "stories" from their relatives, and "eyewitnesses" amount to nothing.

Cyber Sarge: I think the American and European press are trying to get the Moslems stirred up in order to push the election Kerry's direction. "The whole world" is against Bush! Too bad they don't realize they're playing with fire.
