More Propaganda From US State-Run Television, CNN

[JBeee]

I heard today (on CNN) that her family has already found a hubby for her and will be forced to marry him...once shes let out of jail.

A way of restoring her `honour`.

Well Bear... you know how that works. They make an outlandish claim and it is up to you to disprove it or it's fact. Come to think of it, when you do disprove their claims it is still true to them.

Yep, I thought we'd see less of it after SJP bailed, got booted. But Cannuck and company, jumped right in, to fill his shoes.

Well Bear, Do you see the hypocrisy in your claims, either they are important state secrets or just innocent banking talks ...make up your mind.

Untill you offer some proof, I'm open to all manner of opinions. And you can still formulate state secrets that pertain to negotiations on policy, prior to them becoming public policy.

I can imagine how hard that must be to grasp, for some.

If it is nothing but finance and banking the info should be open to the people through freedom of information act which it apparently is not. If it is important matters of national security why is the group international and comprised of finaciers and bankers?

Who said it had anything to do with national security?

Not I, I don't subscribe to nutter theories.

And until you provide some evidence to the contrary, I'll take your post with a train load of salt.

Of course none of this story can be proven but thats not stopping state-run television CNN from repeating the clip....about 5 or 6 times each hour, 24 hrs a day.

And how convenient that she was able to get by hotel `security` packed with foreign journalists to relay her alleged ordeal. *rolls eyes*


Libyan woman bursts into hotel to tell her story of rape - CNN.com

JBEE, sometimes you are truly dispicable, a defender of tyrants, an enemy of the innocent, a seditious mouth-piece for the worst in this world.

Al-Obaidi confronted journalists eating their breakfasts with a pretty harrowing story. She said she had been detained by a gang of "militiamen" loyal to Moammar Gadhafi earlier in the day and gang-raped.
Why? Almost certainly because she's from Benghazi, the rebel-held city in eastern Libya where Gadhafi has been denied the opportunity to slaughter the disloyal population wholesale.
So intent was al-Obaidi on convincing reporters of her story that she lifted up her black robe, which goes against the grain of nearly any woman in Arab society, and displayed the trauma inflicted on her thigh. There were also, reporters at the scene wrote, marks on her face, and on her wrists and ankles, indicating she'd been tied up.
"They defecated on me," she told the reporters who scrambled with cameras and notebooks. "They urinated on me. They violated my honour."
..........................................In Libya these days, you can add the viciousness of the regime's enforcers to the day-to-day misogyny Arab women face. According to reporters on the scene, al-Obaidi was instantly set upon by waitresses in the restaurant, who grabbed knives and attacked her. One threw a coat over her head to shut her up. And these were the women who responded. The male "minders" from the government just grabbed al-Obaidi and began dragging her away.
Journalists who tried to protect her were beaten. One "minder" pulled a gun. Another one smashed the camera of a CNN cameraman who'd filmed the scene.

I thought it was an appropriate and civil way Libya`s security handled the situation. If it were in North America and our government minders in charge of security, she`d have been strapped in the `care-chair`.....a device used to restrain those acting in the irrational way the she was.

Raped Libyan woman faces defamation action

By Donald Macintyre in Tripoli
Wednesday, 30 March 2011


The Libyan woman who publicly complained she had been gang-raped after being detained by pro-Gaddafi militia is now facing possible charges of defaming the men she said attacked her.


In a shocking scene that has resonated round the world, Iman al-Obaidi was seized and driven away from a Tripoli hotel after a violent melee in which plain-clothes security men and hotel staff tried to prevent the woman telling her story to foreign reporters.

Originally the regime said her complaints were being examined as part of a "normal criminal investigation" and that one of the men she accused was the son of a high ranking official. Then on Monday her mother – wearing the flag of the anti-Gaddafi opposition – said in a television interview that she had been told her daughter was being held in Muammar Gaddafi's compound and that she would be freed, and offered a house or money, if she dropped the rape complaints.

Moussa Ibrahim, the Libyan government spokesman, said yesterday: "A legal case is being brought by the boys she accused of rape. It is a grave offence to accuse someone of a sexual offence."

The regime has accused Iman al-Obaidi of being deranged – a claim it then withdrew – drunk, and a prostitute.

Mr Ibrahim said the Attorney General had been thwarted from pursuing the investigation into Ms Obaidi's allegations because she refused to submit to a medical examination.
