Since my post was linked to one of Sean's posts when viewed in thread mode you'd be advised to read that post for some context. After reading it you'll note I've jumped to a small conclusion that Sean's charge that we'd be hearing of Americans raping prisoners (since he never sourced the accusation) was related to my linked World Net Daily story.<br><br>Also do you find it unusual that the Boston Globe has purged its web site of any reference to its botched, unconfirmed story that has now been proven a hoax?<br><br>Dean Davis

i have only read your response to me thus far this morning, so forgive me if i overlap, but i don't think i mentioned rape photos that are currently available to the public (and, i didn't visit your link, but i assume that you are linking to the porn photos that have nothing to do with this conflict). i was only referring to the words of donald rumsfeld who said that the worst is yet to come and that the worst does include rape. i heard that congress saw photos of iraqi male prisoners being forced to have sex with one another. that is also included in the definition of rape. that is also despicable. <br><br>----<br>"even if we get bin Laden or Zawahiri now, it is 2 years 2 late.

Some will express it appropriately, and some won't or can't. I've learned that it's only a personal attack if you take it seriously. When you make like a duck and let it roll off your back, it's just so much noise. The best way to diffuse it is to ignore it.

I have heard nor read any such thing. None of the comments from congress that I have read mention rape. I do not recall Rumsfield mentioning rape (he could have I just don't recall).<br><br>Everything I've heard is "sexual abuse" which covers a lot of ground.<br><br>Dean Davis
