> Iraqi Women and Torture, Rapes and Rumors of Rape

31 July 2004, 23:42

As a woman I have become increasingly sensitive to the lack of at first reports, and later images, of the torture of women and children at Abu Ghraib. Now we hear these images exist and that some news organizations have some of them. What are they waiting for?

Who or what irrational decision makers think that withholding these images is appropriate? Shame on such biased, patriarchal editorial policy. As a woman I condsider it not only insulting but unjust. Who do you guys think you are?
