Chrissie, what makes you think I'm Republican? I hate both parties. You should step outside of that useless debate and start thinking for yourself instead of posting mindless anti-Bush dribble.

MS. NAAMA: May I just share a little experience? I guess you brought the role of women and so on. Saddam, right now, is terrorizing women, Iraqi women. He's using the excuse of infidelity. He's using the excuse of women being unfaithful to their husbands and the honor killing -- he's actually allowed honor killing to come back into society, where something that really, for a long time, was not in Iraqi society and I'm sure these ladies here can correct me if I'm wrong. But, once Saddam is gone, I believe that these are all things that will disappear from our society again. Women -- you have doctors that have been beheaded and they've had their heads put on stakes and put there for people to see. And they were accused of crimes of honor. So once Saddam is gone, I really believe that this can go away. And he's even used rape as a method of terror. You know, when he tries to get people to talk or demands to talk, he would bring their mothers, their sisters, their wives and they would rape that woman in front of their -- you know, in front of the husband. I'm sorry. It's a bit of a difficult subject to talk about. And we have one example of that in 1991 when the uprising happened against Saddam Hussein's regime where Iraqi men and women stood together to liberate Iraq at that time. And we helped as much as we could. We carried weapons. We helped in the hospitals. We -- I can tell you about my personal experience, that we, I went inside one of the jails in the city that we liberated. We liberated 15 out of the 18 provinces inside Iraq. And we went inside the jail and we opened the prison. The prison was full with not only men, men and women and children, as well. The prisoner[s] were not only Iraqis but also, you know, people from various different countries in the Middle East and Europe. And we -- they took us in a tour for -- to see the torture chambers. And inside these torture chambers we saw the human meat grinders. We saw chemical pools that they dissolve people in. We saw rooms that's specially for sexual abuse. Many women, they enter these prisons inside Iraq when they were 15-14 years old. They left when they were -- many years later, with three, four, five children because of the rape that continues every single day inside these jails. So Iraqi men and women are waiting for the minute to be liberated, to be -- to get rid of this brutal regime, and to enjoy living in a free, democratic country. fpc.state.gov
