another captive slain

[taranaki]

The information that we are getting here is that America is holding two female scientists who had pivotal roles in Saddam's weapons research.Given the regimes attitude to women,and the abscence of any evidence of weapons development, it does sound odd.

[crazy legs]

it is very possible that a woman was in with the regime...Women have more rights over there than everybody thinks. They were just as open as the men when I was there, they weren't kept in hiding or completely covered from head to toe...and alot of times it was the women and children who could (or maybe 'would') speak english to us as far as hidden weapons caches and military homes.
