Red Alert: Hearings today on "Women and Children" in Abu Ghraib

Pentagon in meetings today about female aspects of Abu Ghraib. The issues are
children and women. The Top Brass are being told it is bound to break in the media.

The issues put to me by a reliable source are that kids were dragged in to be
tortured in front of their Mothers by US soldiers. 26 people might go in the frame.
Previously I was told 'about thirty'.

The additional rape allegations (of women) from the male detainees etc are being
taken at face value at the Pentagon. There is tacit acceptance of the claims.

They do not know how many females they processed and most of the kids were kept 'off
the books'. Adverse events at "more than one location". I gather girls were dragged
by drunks to cells, showers, landings and sexually assaulted etc.

===

Keep an eye out for stories today. This may be the dam breaking.
