Eg, the same people screaming over these bogus charges, have had nothing to say about the actual and proven rapes and sodomy and torture and murder of Iraqi women.
In fact we are told to just 'move on' from those crimes, and are vilified often for even mentioning them. Having seen interviews with a few of those women, the few willing to even speak about it, it is heart-breaking to see our government refuse to even allow them to sue to try to get some justice.
So until this country takes those barbaric crimes against Iraqi and Afghan women by our own military and military contractors, their phony outrage over this is simply not believed around the world.
