The participation of female soldiers in the mistreatment of Iraqi men at Baghdad's Abu Ghraib prison was probably the most dangerous aspect of the affair, Arab and American experts on Islam said yesterday.

They warned of reprisals by the victims' tribes as a possible religious obligation.

Frankly, I hope she never sees the light of day again.

What a stupid thing to do. One of her friends was interviewed on TV last night. She said this girl was only in an administrative position, had time on her hands, and decided to hang out with the guys. She should have stuck to filing.

Don't we have another recent hostage over there? She just put his life in even more danger. Wonder what they'll do to him just to retaliate.

Slut probably doesn't even know who her baby's father is.

"To entertain the notion of having women jailers and interrogators deal with Muslim men is just begging for trouble," ---

It seems to me that the Muslims were begging for trouble when they hit America!!!!

Funny, outside of Iraq a man being led around on a leash by a woman in a uniform is called a fetish.

Didn't Dick Morris suffer this same abuse in a Washington hotel some years back ?

Right! And remember Marv Albert? I believe this is his favorite 'pastime'.

I swear all of these pictures look like ones we took in my college days ;-)

Do Muslims still want to hang the burned bodies of American soldiers on a bridge? Will the young boys still be cheering in the streets?

If Mr. Sullivan is right that this is psyops revenge, then he better caution Muslim killers that it could happen to them... And on our side - we don't like "rape rooms", we don't like the Arab Street clapping when American innocents are killed, and we don't like a cult where the highest ethics deal with control of a woman's sex organs.

Mr. Sullivan, considered a leading Islamic affairs specialist in the nation, suggested that having women inflict pain and humiliation on Iraqi prisoners might have been a calculated form of psychological warfare. "This had to be a conscious policy to add the element of shame to the physical pain inflicted on Iraqis. To Muslim Arabs, it would have been inconceivable to be placed in that degree of vulnerability before a woman," he said.

"In our faith it is strictly forbidden to have women confront naked men," said Sheik Muhammad Muhammad Ali, a leading Shi'ite scholar. "And I know that even in America this is not considered normal."

Flying planes full of innocent people into buildings full of innocent people is strictly forbidden in America too, and we would never consider that normal either.

Women are trained in the MOS of interrogator. These are apparently techniques from some agency's playbook. Now the sh## is hitting the fan.

I heard that comment on Fox, they replayed it. Talk about a jaw dropping moment. You're probably right about the Rumsfeld effect on Kerry also.

If this dude knew what went on in the San Fernando Valley (porn industry)
he'd have a heart attack.

I am sick to death of their sensibilities, frankly. We were just a little bit shocked when their pals murdered our innocents in cold blood. Note to these hypocrites: WE'RE NOT "EVEN" YET.

Yes, the Iraqis might do something horrible, such as murder and mutalation.

Somebody should caption the "leash" photo with "Female US Army soldier expresses
opinion on topic of female circumcision."

How would you ever come to that conclusion?

Oh, yes. Because the two would be connected in your twisted mind, eh?

Of COURSE they are shocked. In THEIR world, abuse like this is only practised by maless, generally on little boys and girls.
