(62,325 posts)are so damaging to women get no traction from those claiming to care about women here. And anyone who DARES to mention the despicable treatment of women, the torture, the horrific rapes and, I remember not wanting to believe it at the time, the sodomy of children, is consistently attacked here.
It seems to really anger a few people here when people dare to mention the horribly sexist brutality against women by our own government.
I remember those women. The letters they somehow managed to get out begging their 'brothers' to blow up the prison because what was being done to them was so horrible.
At first I didn't WANT to believe it. But after the exposure of the videos of Abu Ghraib we learned that there were dozens more videos. And members of Congress viewed them to determine if they too should be released.
'We are talkiing about murder, rape, torture here' said Lindsey Graham to CHENEY who was trying to stop the hearings at the time.
Later it was verified that the women's letters were true. But we weren't allowed to see those videos, however I remember the drawings of the woman, presumably Noor, and I'm almost glad we didn't get to see those videos, for her sake.
I know you will always stand up for what is right, which is why I have so much respect for you.
