Too bad this woman is in Libya and not Iraq, or else we might try to liberate her! here's a quote for you:
"I showed to the journalists my hands and legs. I was bound and tied up. I was beaten and tortured," she told CNN's Anderson Cooper through a translator in an interview that aired in part on his Monday prime time show, according to a transcript the network provided to The Cutline. "For two days they violated my freedom ... I want to convey to the journalists that the brigades who are supposed to protect people, look what they did to me."

This is whats happening in Libya, but lets just keep worrying about illegal immigrants i.e. Mexicans! forget that we "supposedly" went to Iraq to liberate the people, for freedom. Oh and God, and glory right?!?! I mean we don't have to liberate all of the people in the middle east right? Just the ones who live in countries with oil! Oops i meant.....ummmm here's another quote:
"There is no safe place for me in Tripoli," she told Cooper. "All my phones are monitored. Even this phone I am speaking on right now is monitored and I am monitored. And yesterday, I was kidnapped by a car and they beat me in the street and then brought me here after they dragged me around. They told me whenever you leave the house we will do this to you, meaning that I was not allowed to leave the house or see the journalists. I had asked to see the journalists. They beat and hit me and sent me back. Tell all the human rights organizations to return me safely to my family."

It makes me very sad to hear about this, and this is something I would like our military to work towards putting an end to, but unfortunately the U.S. GOV. is not run by intelligent and/or sympathetic people.
Sorry Iman al-obeidi!
