I have been saving links about the rape and torture that is going on......

[converted_democrat]

in our name. I have quite a few links, does anyone have more to add to my list? I have been saving these because when I tell people about the rape and torture going on over there, they don't want to believe me, so I send them the links so they can read about it for themselves. Some of the victims are children. I don't blame them for not wanting to believe it, I don't want to believe it either. Does anyone here have links that I don't? If you do, please let me have them so I can add them to the list. Thanks in advance.

on edit--added the quote from Graham. Given that he is a republican all people usually pay attention, no matter what their party affiliation is.

"’The American public needs to understand we're talking about rape and murder here. We're not just talking about giving people a humiliating experience,’ Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina told reporters after Rumsfeld testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee. ’We're talking about rape and murder -- and some very serious charges.’ -------Quote of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R)

1. good idea, what you should do next....

is pull a small quote or excerpt from each of the links and put it right above the link and then just have it saved in a word document somewhere that you can easily copy and paste anytime you need it.

I am sure there is obviously much more stuff out there you should just try and make sure you have a good representative sample of all that's out there. good job.

10. Thank you.

I'm saving them so I can "show and tell" people that still support this administration. The articles usually make them change their tune quickly. It really is a good conversion tool.

Rape cases in US prisons number in the thousands

- Nearly 2,100 incidents of rape and other sexual violence were recorded in US prisons in 2004, US justice authorities said.

The
Department of Justice said that the highest rate of prison rape and other forced sexual acts was in state-run juvenile prisons, and that the largest portion involved prison staff abuse of inmates.

-snip-

Nearly 42 percent of reported cases of sexual violence involved prison staff abuse of inmates, while 37 percent was inmate-on-inmate violence.

it's been revealed that some Abu Ghraib torturers were US prison guards

the MOST rapes were to juveniles - and we wonder why kids are so hostile
