As soon as she got some Western clothes she put them on

BS! Does no one remember she was wearing the burka long before capture? She LOVED the culture, identified with it! PERFECT for use by insurgent propagandists!

She'll be back with the veil in no time..condemning those who condemn the insurgents....sure enough..

I hope your wrong, time will tell. I hope she saw the light and realizes what a great culture and country she left behind in becoming a mouth piece for animals.She now has a new lease on life and hopefully a new view.

You don't actually know what a burka is, do you?

You appear to have no understanding of normal dress in the Middle East. The burqa, for example, is rarely worn in Iraq. However, they do wear the headscarf called the hajib.

When you saw the women standing in line for miles to vote they were all dressed in their very best clothes. It is customary there to do so when you are facing death. After all, you want to be buried in your best, and in Iraq that's going to be a large embroidered gown. The very next occasion I had to vote I wore a tie out of respect for their risk. A personal thing, but I was truly impressed with millions of women risking their lives to vote.

It is not unusual for Westerners to adopt Middle Eastern clothes when present in the Middle East.
