We will probably never know but we sure aren't making any friends over it.....

1. The Slugs hate education in our country.......................

why would they want an educated Iraq? Education gives one the power to see through the government bullshit and question it's methods. Heaven forbid THAT happen anywhere.
Iraqis are finding out what this Democracy stuff is all about. Reslug Democracy that is.
Keep them stupid and scared, the official motto of right wing politics.
It's almost certain they'll never hear from this professor again. She's being "re-educated". :eyes:

3. That's probably very close to the truth

The Right has presented no illusions of how they feel about education. In a locale as chaotic as Iraq, they have a lot more freedom to act as they will - which includes getting rid of educated people who might spread that nasty disease called "learning".

2. Things were getting boring at Abu Ghraib

And they were looking for "fresh meat" for the rape rooms.
