From Naomi Wolf
This is from Naomi Wolf's entry on the Huffington Post yesterday. In part, she says:
"Just as sex criminals -- and the leaders who directed the use of rape and sexual abuse as a military strategy -- were tried and sentenced after the wars in Bosnia and Sierra Leone, so Americans must hold accountable those who committed, or authorized, sex crimes in US-operated prisons. Throughout the world, this perverse and graphic criminality has added fuel to anxiety about US cultural and military power. These acts need to be called by their true names -- war crimes and sex crimes -- and people in America need to demand justice for the perpetrators and their victims. As in a family, only when people start to speak out and tell the truth about rape and sexual assault can the healing begin." (c - Naomi Wolf)
It's pretty gruesome re: White House policies on sex crimes in the Iraq War and it will make you ever prouder to be an American, but here is the link to the complete post.
