What about the validity of the "original source". I have no doubt
that women are being violated in every war zone on the planet - that
kind of thing never changes. I just hope we are not subjected to another
"eyewitness" source like that young women who testified about the
murder of infants during the Kuwait invasion - and later turned out
to be the ambassador's daughter, talking about events that hadn't happened
at a place she hadn't been to - all orchestrated by lobbyists.
