Tales of torture of women
The first woman to testify against Saddam took the stand today.
This is the work of the man that Howard Dean says we should have left in power.
This is the work of the man that John Kerry says it was a mistake to remove, even though he voted to remove him.
That's no surprise. Kerry can't even accept responsibility for the SUV in his own spacious garage. He can't even accept responsibility for falling down while skiing.
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The first woman to testify against Saddam Hussein, hidden behind a high curtain, recounted on Tuesday how she had been made to strip naked, beaten and given electric shocks during weeks of interrogation ...
"I saw camels and I was envious because they were free," she said. She wept as she told of being forced by an interrogator soon after her detention to strip in custody while five officers watched.
"I was forced to take my clothes off. They lifted my legs up, they tied my hands, they beat me with cables and (gave me) electric shocks," she said.
"From a small window, they gave us two loaves of bread," she said. "After all that torture, do you think we could eat?"
Later she was taken to Abu Ghraib, she said, where the water was freezing cold in winter, prisoners' hair crawled with lice, and women pulled threads from blankets to sew clothes.
Guards stopped the women from helping one woman give birth, even when the baby was stuck between her legs, she said.
This is the work of the man that Howard Dean says we should have left in power.
This is the work of the man that John Kerry says it was a mistake to remove, even though he voted to remove him.
That's no surprise. Kerry can't even accept responsibility for the SUV in his own spacious garage. He can't even accept responsibility for falling down while skiing.
