Sex Assaults on Women in U.S. Military 2/26/04 "Washington - Pentagon officials testified Wednesday that the number of sexual assaults against women in the U.S. military have been cut in half in recent years. However, skeptical senators said the military must do more to protect female soldiers and prosecute sexual attackers. "Incidents of sexual assault in the military are down - cut in half," said David Chu, undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness. "It's still too high, and we have a long way to go." Three percent of the uniformed women on active duty were sexually assaulted in 2002, down from 6 percent in 1995, according to a Pentagon study released at a hearing Wednesday."

Lawyer talks to U.N. on abuse - Brookfield attorney is victim advocate By Karen Ali "Brookfield lawyer Helen McGonigle was recently called upon to speak at the United Nations on the topic of ritual abuse and torture. Helen McGonigle presented a lecture at the United Nations 48th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women. McGonigle was one of six panel members who spoke on the topic of ritual abuse and torture before about 60 audience members, including United Nations delegates and others. The topics she covered were the sexual exploitation of women and children, child sexual abuse, incest, child pornography and sex slavery...."The National Center for Victims of Crime reports that over 700,000 U.S. women and children are raped or sexually assaulted annually," McGonigle added. McGonigle said the U.S. State Department estimates at least 700,000 people, especially women and children, are trafficked each year across borders throughout the world...."There is growing concern, the most severe form of child sexual abuse, sadistic and ritualized child sexual abuse remains largely unaddressed," she said."http://www.newstimes.com/cgi-bin/dbs.cgi?db=news&view_records=1&id=61057

U.S. Forces Want Al-Jazeera Out Of Fallujah
By Mustafa Abdel-Halim, IOL Correspondent
CAIRO, April 9 (IslamOnline.net) - The United States asked al-Jazeera team to leave Fallujah as one of conditions for reaching a settlement to the bloody stand-off in the besieged western Baghdad town Friday, April 9. "American forces declared al-Jazeera must leave before any progress is made to settle the Fallujah stand-off," al-Jazeera director general Wadah Khanfar told IslamOnline.net, citing sources close to the Iraqi Governing Council. Khanfar, the former Baghdad bureau chairman of the station, declined to speculate on reasons for putting al-Jazeera departure as "part of solving the crisis". He also denied receiving "any threats or notification statements" from the U.S. occupation forces recently. Khanfar also dismissed charges of bias in the coverage of the Fallujah raids, which resulted in more than 400 people killed including women and children. "We are just carrying out our work as professionally as possible. We describe the situation on the ground as is," Khanfar said.
