The Taguba report confirms that some women were indeed raped by American G.I.'s. There is one photo of an American soldier having sex with an Iraqi woman. And there is the by now infamous story of how American soldiers harnessed a 70-year-old woman and rode her around, calling her a donkey...
Last December... a note smuggled out of Abu Ghraib by a female prisoner... said some of the women were now pregnant. [and] urged the Iraqi resistance to bomb the jail to spare the women further shame.
... the Bush administration has refused to release photos of Iraqi women forced at gunpoint to bare their breasts—no doubt to spare Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld further embarrassment.
