Egyptian general admits 'virginity checks' conducted on protesters
CNN ^ | 5/30/11 | Shahira Amin

A senior Egyptian general admits that "virginity checks" were performed on women arrested at a demonstration this spring, the first such admission after previous denials by military authorities. The allegations arose in an Amnesty International report, published weeks after the March 9 protest. It claimed female demonstrators were beaten, given electric shocks, strip-searched, threatened with prostitution charges and forced to submit to virginity checks. At that time, Maj. Amr Imam said 17 women had been arrested but denied allegations of torture or "virginity tests."

Exactly what is a “virginity check?”

If it is what I think it is, they ain’t virgins no mo.

Lord knows there are plenty of things I get riled up about lately concerning our newly elected ‘Republican controlled’ congress but every time I see a story like this I want to pull my (remaining) hair out of my head.

I can only hope that some Presidential (Palin/West/Cain) candidate tells Congress (who apparently lacks both huevos and a moral compass)”When I am elected, you will NOT send me a bill that includes funding for any country where such activity goes on...EVER. All such will be vetoed and you will be mocked individually and personally in every venue I speak in if you do.”

Is it really so much to ask? For Bohner all on his own initiative to decide “Know what? I stand up for women, regardless of what country they live in. I refuse to send one dime of aid to barbarians.”

Is it really?

O is giving $Billions to set up the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt

O is attacing Libya to set up Al Qaeda in Libya

O is doing everything he can to destroy America: Minimizing oil drilling maximizes oil to Arab countries, open borders destroys the US internally, spending $Trillions destroys the US economically etc.

O is doing exactly what a RADICAL Muslim would do if he got the opportunity to destroy the US. It takes time, he can’t do it in FOUR years so he can’t be too obvious, otherwise you’d realize what is going on.

By the time most Americans figure it out, it will be too late.

The anti-Romney is deservedly strong here, but can you cite the “shutdown” post?

Pinging JR as a courtesy, not to “rat you out”.
