Yet nothing comes closer to Titus Andronicus than the insistent, terrible stories of gang rape by United States personnel in Abu Ghraib. You hear this repeatedly in Amman, and a very accurate source of mine in Washington – a man who deals with military personnel – tells me they are true. This, he says, is why Barack Obama changed his mind about releasing the photographs which George W Bush refused to make public. The pictures we saw – of the humiliation of men – were outrageous enough. But the ones we haven’t seen show Americans raping Iraqi women.
Lima Nabil, a journalist who now runs a home for on-the-run girls, sips coffee as the boiling Jordanian sun frowns through the window at us. “In Abu Ghraib,” she says, “women were tortured by the Americans much more than the men. One woman said she witnessed five girls being raped. Most of the women in the prison were raped – some of them left prison pregnant. Families killed some of these women – because of the shame.”

And the officer in charge of Abu Ghraib was a woman. Brigadier General Janis Karpinski was demoted to Colonel after what passed for a military inquiry.
Of course much of the horror at Abu Ghraib was led by psyops practioners, using templates from deep black shrinks. It wasn't simply a "few bad apples" as per the official US government and Pentagon cover story.
So much for exporting western democratic values and morality to the supposedly inferior "ragheads" of the Middle East.
