    That's rather unfair Sparks. It's tantamount to saying that women who wear short skirts and low-cut tops are asking for it and really shouldn't be surprised if they get raped.

    I don't know where the hell you're getting that from, I was pointing out that while the stories were that she was treated badly by the Iraqis, the americans are the ones who are really treating her badly.

    Dr Shwail said he saw no signs of rape but neither was he looking for them. "The thought did not cross my mind. Her injuries were consistent with severe trauma, a car crash, nothing else . . . There is no way she could have been raped."

    The rest of the article seems to suggest there is an element of sensationalism in the whole thing (perhaps to get books sold?). Not sure if it's a book I'd want for Christmas if it includes rape.
