Are they having water balloon fights over in Baghdad using Condoms?

If not, what the hell is the U.S. civilian members of Baghdad's Coalition Provisional Authority, using them on? Could it be their fellow er...female Amercans, OR..could it be young Iraqi women forced into prostitution by their Pimp Daddy Iraqi men? Oh..and please note the how the U.S News piece Atrios refers to tries to make it sound humorous.. Sickening!

More than 400 Iraqi women kidnapped, raped in post-war chaos: watchdog
<snip>
BAGHDAD, Aug 24 (AFP) - More than 400 Iraqi women have been kidnapped and raped amid the lawlessness gripping the country since the ouster of Saddam Hussein, the Organisation of Women's Freedom in Iraq said Sunday.

The group's director Yanar Mohammed said the four months since the US-led coalition took control had seen an "unprecedented" explosion of violence against women.

"More than 400 women have endured the pain and suffering of being kidnapped, raped and sometimes sold," she told reporters at a demonstration in Baghdad's Fardous Square.

"This violence is still a daily occurrence, especially on the streets of Baghdad, without attracting the least attention of the (US) soldiers."
