[video] Former Iraqi Abu Gharib prisoner under Saddam, Haifa Zangana, on reality of Iraqi women’s lives


The full speech which I live-blogged here was incredibly powerful. I also did a one-on-one interview which I hope to post later today or tonight.

    Thanks for reading, Kim. I confess that some of what she said was a bit too strident for me, but I have no doubt that the burdens carried by the women in Iraq are totally skewing recovery

    Jill -

    I can’t imagine living under either regime in Iraq and what they have gone through and have to go through on a daily basis must be horrendous. However, I wish instead of so much complaining about the U.S. and the U.K., it would have been interesting to hear more solutions or ideas for solutions.

    Great work on your part!
