I fear for this Pope

[sabrina 1]

104. Words. Easy things to spit out. No one can support War AND Women's Rights

at the same time. He was a phony and he proved it. He also supported torture. Great example of someone who stands up for women's rights or anyone else's for that matter. And he supported torture AFTER we knew what was being done to women in Iraq by our own government.

I remain haunted by the woman named Noor and wonder to this day if she survived. Hitchens knew about these horrific stories but I do not recall him ever addressing them at all. Noor was a middle class woman, upper middle class as far as we know before our supporters of womens' rights decided to invade her country, rape and pillage and torture men, women and children. She disappeared after being finally released no doubt traumatized. Her family left their home. And yes, we know what was done to her and so did Hitchens

Democrats who also say nice words about womens' rights completely ignored what was done to those women, some of whom eventually found the courage to speak to International Human Rights representatives and what they had to say, many with their identities hidden out of shame, as if THEY should be the ones to be ashamed, was horrific.

The shame is on every single American, elected or not, who supports these travesties, who votes for those who support them and who make excuses for them.

There is more than one issue for women in this world. Noor, educated, free, free to earn her own living, thanks to people like Hitchens, was reduced to nothing. He never had the integrity to answer those of us who went to his blog and asked him for an explanation. But then, even back then, I never expected him to. He did NOT support women and I would refrain from ever using him as a hero for women.
