Meanwhile, a class action filed in California on behalf of former detainees raises the specter of brutal physical abuse.
One plaintiff, identified only as Neisef, claims that after he was taken from his home on the outskirts of Baghdad last November and sent to Abu Ghraib, Americans made him disrobe and attached electrical wires to his genitals. He claims he was shocked three times. Although a vein in his penis ruptured and he had blood in his urine, he says, he was refused medical attention. In another session, Neisef claims, he was held down by two men while a uniformed woman forced him to have sex with her. "I was crying," said Neisef, 28. "I felt like my whole manhood was gone." The class action also claims that detainees were raped in prison. On June 6, Neisef was released, after a U.S. civilian told him, he says, that he had been wrongly accused by informants. A U.S. military spokesman in Baghdad confirms that a prisoner with Neisef's ID number was released on that date, and TIME has obtained a copy of his release order. But the Pentagon would not comment on the specifics of Neisef's account.

And, how is it that an Iraqi can make a "class action" lawsuit in our country? (Admittedly, it was filed in California, so who knows what they are thinking in the land of fruits and nuts).
I hope plaintiff's attorney realizes his client is relating common adolescent male rape fantasies.
And how is it that these people have standing to file a class action suit in US courts?!
If this is true the only thing I have to say is: "That's what he gets for being in the wrong place at the wrong time."
This is from The Onion, right? The class action also claims that detainees were raped in prison
Gee, why should a prison in Iraq be different than a prison in America...?
Americans are a cruel people who force men to have sex with women.
Now that we have established who the Good Guys are -- let's all go out their and campaign for John F'n Kerry!
I'm not buying this for a second.
"In another session, Neisef claims, he was held down by two men while a uniformed woman forced him to have sex with her."
Sounds like he's fantasizing.
How can a man be forced to have sex with a woman? I'm getting confused.
As far as Mr. Neisef's claims all I can say is "liar, liar, pants on fire".
Darn, you stole my line...lol
Good luck with your attempt, Time. I doubt it'll work.
Is "Time" trying to divert attention away from the beheading of American hostages?
Wow, This man was scared stiff!!!
It can happen. More and more states are starting to recognise it (ironically, womens groups hate the recognition these laws bestow).
In this case though, I highly doubt this guy got raped, sounds more like a "S and M" fantasy.
A lot of folks on this thread thinking the same thing I was thinking. This guy's sob story about being forced to have sex with a female soldier doesn't sound even slightly credible.
I think the left is really going to lose Average America if they try to push the notion that forcing a guy to have sex with a woman is torture.
The left really has to quit hanging out with homos so much.
If i were running the show NO FOREIGNER would be allowed to file a lawsuit period!!This is the very reason we must deny and defy the courts and lawyers and just simply tell them,"you have NO jurisdiction.
If this is true, every sex-starved arab will be lining up to get INTO Abu Ghraib.
JEEEEEZ, the idiocy.
