World-News

Rep. Jane Harman (D-Venice) writes for the Los Angeles Times: "The stories are shocking in their simplicity and brutality: A female military recruit is pinned down at knifepoint and raped repeatedly in her own barracks. Her attackers hid their faces but she identified them by their uniforms; they were her fellow soldiers. During a routine gynecological exam, a female soldier is attacked and raped by her military physician. Yet another young soldier, still adapting to life in a war zone, is raped by her commanding officer.... These are true stories, and, sadly, not isolated incidents. Women serving in the US military are more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire in Iraq."
