Krim sent me this: "You linked to this article before, but you didn't quote this part of
it:
"In one case, taskforce interrogators were said to have forced a 73-year-old woman to crawl around a room while a man sat on her back, before forcing a broom handle into her anus. Two of her fingers were broken. The woman, a retired teacher, said her interrogators demanded to know the whereabouts of her son and husband, both of whom she said were dead."
It is very graphic piece, and maybe that's why you may have skipped posting it. However, I think it's a very important one for two reasons. One, it's forces those natives who call for NATO bombs to really confront what NATO is. That these people are not floral wearing hippies. Two, it dispels the myth that many liberals, centrists, and conservatives here in the West like to shroud themselves in, that "yah, we may have killed a few people, and yah, we may have destroyed a civilization, but it was all for a good cause". Conservatives for cynical reasons, and the rest because they don't want to admit to the horrors that their country, and hence they themselves, are directly responsible for.
And contrast the Western MSM coverage of the above to that of that woman that was supposedly raped by Libyan soldiers in the opening days of NATO's neo-imperial war on Libya. Her story, and her story alone was given 24 hour coverage by the MSM and was used to prepare public opinion for the war. No evidence was required, it was her word and her word only. And now she is sitting comfortably here in the US, while Libya crumbles under the rule of militias. I can't but help think of the Kuwaiti incubator story that was concocted by the CIA to prepare the US public for the first Iraq war."
