Even so she deliberately put herself in harm's way. She had no reason to believe that the people who arrested her at the hotel would treat her any better than her previous alleged captors. Whatever the back story, she performed a brave act. The courage of the act lends credence to the story that she tells. It is much easier for a Muslim women to be a suicide bomber than to be a self admitted rape victim. This woman deserves to be celebrated and her attackers deserve to be punished.Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07837540030934495651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-38821669656280171972011-03-27T19:36:06.373-05:002011-03-27T19:36:06.373-05:00rdhardin, why do you ignore the impact that Palin ...<i>rdhardin, why do you ignore the impact that Palin has had on the issues.

That she was a whore with a record just had them piling on additional praise that a prostitute (feminists favorite "rape victim" of the evil male patriarchy) - had the bravery to "step forth".<br /><br />Yeah, and like you, they were already talking about which black actress should best play the heroic Mangum in the coming bioptic.Cedarfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00602418702398818596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-27174917935107669362011-03-27T17:32:24.746-05:002011-03-27T17:32:24.746-05:00dhardin, I noticed you avoid the question of why P...<i>dhardin, I noticed you avoid the question of why Palin has been so effective informing the People that Obama is a clown.

This woman, Iman al-Obeidi, chose to enter a room full of journalists after her assault and tell the world about it. This was as brave an act as you will ever see. She must have known how the second act would play out but she chose to proceed.....If you compare the plight and the courage of this woman to that of Lara Logan and Valerie Plame, there is no comparison. By entering that room, she tacitly appealed to the protection of the journalists. I understand why they could not physically intervene at the moment. But now she should be a cause celebre. Her picture should be on the cover of Newsweek. Natalie Portman and Naomi Cruise should compete to star in the biopic of her life....There was a recent Libyan press release claiming that the woman was a prostitute, that she had been set free, and that she was now living with her sister. The press sympathized with Valerie Plame and demanded vengeance on those who wronged her. We shall see how they follow up on the case of Iman al Obeidi and judge accordingly.Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07837540030934495651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-51072190504682063542011-03-27T16:47:15.416-05:002011-03-27T16:47:15.416-05:00Shouting Thomas -
"Every political movement ...Shouting Thomas -<br /><br />"Every political movement tries to create rape martyrs to prove that the other side is inhuman."<br /><br />Agree, and the media pays more attention to salacious rape charges than they do to far more eggregious acts. As part of journalists being beaten and roughed up, Lara Logan got groped while she was being roughed up. This became bigger to the media and hysterical feminists than the dozens of murders.<br /><br />Same old crap. Villages in Sudan being raided, men massacred, babies spitted on bayonets, crops burned, lifestock slaughtered, people left to starve...Yawn!<br />Report the Gangaweed are raping Sudanese??? Stop the presses! Crime against humanity, feminists joining Neocons in demanding that troops go in to Save the Women.<br /><br />It also helps if the Progressive Jewish Media and Left can see the rapist as an opressor. A good example is dozens upon dozens of women are raped on and off campus by black thugs. Yawn! But if some crack whore with a history of false accusations says 4 Duke students raped her Nubian Queen self - well that is right in the approved Progressive Jewish Media narrative in place since the 60s. White oppressor rapists, noble black woman violated. Shades of the KKK! Must be true. Even if it isn't, it advances the approved narrative!<br /><br />The Libyan rebels, just like the Palestinians, know the way the Western Media ticks..any accusation of rape is worth more than photos of dozens of people pulverized into body parts by a Libyan tank firing 115mm shells into an occupied apartment complex. <br />And the West, while convinced the average Palestinian or Libyan lies whenever their lips are moving...are compelled by the "narrative" to believe any report by any Arab women must be true if her lips are moving and she is charging an American, a Zionist, or some regime people with rape.Cedarfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00602418702398818596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-32509167258527906582011-03-27T16:36:25.258-05:002011-03-27T16:36:25.258-05:00So why aren't the very pro feminist Western pr...<i>So why aren't the very pro feminist Western press talking about this story? </i><br /><br />They are, watch something other other than CNN or Fox.Beauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03042543377988798299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-36522369044214091362011-03-27T16:34:49.313-05:002011-03-27T16:34:49.313-05:00The point is : the journalists did nothing to prev...<i>The point is : the journalists did nothing to prevent the woman to be detained after denouncing been raped by the Libyan forces.

It is a fringe benefit of being on the the winning side. Most of the Russian Army men reverted to this tribal custom in Berlin after the German defeat in April 1945. It is one more reason that the Arabs wanted so bad to defeat Jews in a battles in the 1948 War of independence, and it still excites their lust. The IDF to this day includes armed Jewish women so that they will have a fighting chance.traditionalguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706120413005530014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-58239896615292585102011-03-27T16:22:15.870-05:002011-03-27T16:22:15.870-05:00So why aren't the very pro feminist Western pr...So why aren't the very pro feminist Western press talking about this story?

Rendition, Abu Ghraib, John Yoo's memoes: these are featured endlessly in major motion pictures, front page NY Times stories, law review articles.
