She is a victim of the war just the same as thousands of raped Iraqi women. When will Congress hear their testimony?
Yes, I know that is harsh, and it sounds uncaring but it is the reality of the thing.

If there was ever a crime that could justify capital punishment, it would be rape…

America wants to help Iraq in a quest of democratic freedom, but they can’t even prove that it works in their own country.
Nice.

I agree. I’m not discarding Jones’s rape, but I’ve said the above too…
i thought some justice would be brought at one point, but i was wrong…. remember with the story broke out about soldiers raping a teenage girl and then killing her entire family

i was surprised this story surfaced in the news at all…
(p.s. i’ve had to retype this post several times because it wasn’t showing up at all. if for some bizarre reason this shows more then once, i apologize)

It isnt just a US epidemic.. its a global epidemic. Rape is such a act of anger and power and where ever that lies, is where there will be these stories, unfortunatly.
To topic…
I watched all of em.. its sad, but I applaud her. She is one strong woman. Those beasts who did that to her will see justice. They are not to fond of rapists in prison.. not at all.
