The lead post to this thread links to two articles. The woman, Elaine Donnelly, president of the Center for Military Readiness, who is quoted so much in the second article is correct. It's amazing to see that she says so much of what people have been saying for so long on this site.

From the article: "Donnelly believes the majority of American women reject what she calls the 'attitude of hostility,' toward men but she warns the feminist message has a powerful influence on young women."

I would add that, though many American women may reject the "attitude of hostility" toward men, far too many, unfortunately, still believe the feminist lies about male privilege and the oppression of females.

Also from the article: "Although certain feminists would not admit it publicly, 'they're probably quite fond' of the photo showing the Iraqi prisoner being held on a leash, said Donnelly. That's 'because it is demeaning to a man -- any man.'

"The feminists to whom Donnelly refers are 'the ones who like to buy man-hating greeting cards and have this kind of attitude that all men abused all women. It's a subculture of the feminist movement, but the driving force in it in many cases, certainly in academia,' she said.

She actually points out that man-hating is the driving force of the feminist movement in academia. She makes me think again of how many parents of CU football players consider the current rape scandal to be a witch hunt.

Mainstream feminism is finally being exposed for what it is -- society destroying hatred of men. Its most influential proponents must be held accountable for their actions.

I know I have said this to the point of annoying the s#!t out of everyone on this site, but, again I must say, This is exactly what I've been trying (and maybe failing) to communicate.
We in America accept and even incourage the de-humanization, debaseing and humiliation of males, culturealy and through the "entertainment" and main-stream media.

I am nearly 100% certain that the way the prisoners at Abu Ghraib were treated was/is influenced by this, now societal, "norm".
We CONSTANTLY see images of women, in particular, putting men down, slapping them, punching them, beating them up, kicking them in the groin, binding and gagging them and sexually dominateing them. I can't count the number of times I have seen the; "best way for a woman to deal with a (pig) man" is to de-humanize him or humiliate him through the use of violence or to tie him up.
And there are people who are SUPRISED to see this happen...?
Although I doubt it will occur, perhaps if this incident doesn't get people talking, maybe it will at least get them THINKING.
And BTW, if anyone thinks that there are no American women getting off on these photos of male degradation, I would invite you to re-evaluate...,
Okay, I've rambled enough.

Opposition forces in Iraq have beheaded a civilian American hostage, in part, they say, because of abuse of captive Iraqis. Their communique stated that they were, in part, responding to the "picture of dishonor and the news of Satanic assault on the people of Islamic men and women"

From what I can gather, for these people, sexual degradation is one of the worst things that can be done to a person. We can probably expect more of this. They certainly promise more.

More than any other photographed atrocity in recent memory, this current debacle is going to cost America dearly... and possibly unseat our unelected President.

The rest of the world understands the levels of cultural insensitivity, indeed depravity, that these photos represent.

What was done to these Muslim male prisoners, with the full cooperation and delight of our much-vaunted U.S. female "soldiers," will take decades to overcome.

Just today we saw a civilian contractor in service to the military (one of an under-reported 20,000!) decapitated in retribution.

Now, just wait 'till the next Jessica Lynch gets captured.

Is America ready to witness what's about to unfold on international mass media?

Well, it didn't take long.

The female "soldier," Ms. England, has now proclaimed publicly that she was "a victim" in the whole smarmy debacle... merely "following orders" from her male higher-ups in command.

(Of course... it's the Evil Patriarchy corrupting the higher morality of our fembot soldiers!)

Am I correct that under the Geneva Convention rules that the U.S. military observes that an enlisted solider is permitted to disobey orders that are patently illegal and/or unethical?

Female GI In Abuse Photos Talks

(CBS/AP) Army Pfc. Lynndie England, seen worldwide in photographs that show her smiling and pointing at naked Iraqi prisoners, said she was ordered to pose for the photos, and felt "kind of weird" in doing so.

In an exclusive interview with Brian Maass of Denver CBS station KCNC-TV, England also confirmed that abuses worse than those depicted in the photos were carried out at the U.S.-run Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad, but she declined to discuss them.

England, 21, repeatedly insisted that her actions were dictated by "persons in my higher chain of command."
 
CBS News' 60 Minutes II will broadcast home video taken by a soldier working at the U.S. run prisons at Camp Bucca and Abu Ghraib, Tonight at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

In the photos, England is seen smiling, cigarette in her mouth, as she leans forward and points at the genitals of a naked, hooded Iraqis. Another photo taken at Abu Ghraib shows her holding a leash that encircles the neck of a naked Iraqi man lying on his side.

"I was instructed by persons in higher rank to stand there and hold this leash and look at the camera," she said.

England said the actions depicted in the photos were intended to put psychological pressure on the Iraqi prisoners.

"Well, I mean, they [the photos] were for psy-op reasons," she said "And the reasons worked. I mean, so to us, we were doing our job, which meant we were doing what we were told, and the outcome was what they wanted. They'd come back and they'd look at the pictures, and they'd state, 'Oh, that's a good tactic, keep it up. That's working. This is working. Keep doing it. It's getting what we need.'"

England, an Army reservist from West Virginia who is four months pregnant, is now stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. The interview was taped Tuesday at Fort Bragg.

England is among seven soldiers from the 372nd Military Police Company who face charges for allegedly degrading and humiliating Iraqi prisoners. One soldier, Spc. Jeremy C. Sivits of Hyndman, Pa., will face a court-martial in Baghdad next week.

"To all of us who have been charged, we all agree that we don't feel like we were doing things that we weren't supposed to, because we were told to do them. We think everything was justified, because we were instructed to do this and to do that," England said.

She told KCNC she was looking forward to having her baby and hopefully one day putting the abuse scandal behind her.

Today's national news revealed that the U.S. military is in possession of videotapes of Ms. England having sex with several of her male comrades.

This woman is fast becoming the female version of the Marquis de Sade.

I'm confident that N.O.W. will soon create a foundation for her defense and exoneration.

Has David and Goliath Co. released their new tee-shirts in her honor yet?

I haven't heard too much about this Major General Fast. Notice that Brigadier General Karpinski is passing the buck to her!


http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=384 07

In a recent Army report on the Iraq prisoner abuse scandal, disgraced Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski, the commander of several military police officers facing criminal charges, identified Fast as the person largely responsible for causing prison overcrowding in Iraq.

Fast has been serving since last summer as intelligence chief for the U.S. military command in Baghdad. In that role, she was the person responsible for approving the release of prisoners who "are of no intelligence value and no longer pose a significant threat" to American forces and allies.

Karpinski told Army investigators looking at prison abuse that Fast "routinely" refused to approve the release of such prisoners even after a military review panel in Iraq had recommended that they be released.
