Bush and Cheney are two of the biggest chicken-hearted, lily-livered men around. If they were tied down next to each other in the public square and received one lash between them, they'd be pissing their pants and screaming for mercy.
It would be fun to see. Put it on Pay Per View and the proceeds can go to the double victim, her husband and their entire family for airplane tickets so they can get out of that god-forsaken country.
Humanity be damned! Bush and Cheney be damned for not piping up.
The story reverberated around the world.
Their deafening silence was heard around the world.
Sandy Sand began her writing career while raising three children and doing public relations work for Women's American ORT (Organization for Rehabilitation through Training). That led to a job as a reporter for the San Fernando Valley Chronicle, a weekly publication in Canoga Park, California. In conjunction with the Chronicle, she broadcast a tri-weekly, ten minuted newscast for KGOE AM. Following the closure of the Chronicle, Sand became the editor of the Tolucan Times and Canyon Crier newspapers in Burbank. She is currently a guest columnist for the Los Angeles Daily News and contributor to ronkayela.com
It is torture and is highly doubtful, unless they are lashing her with wet noodles, that anyone could survive such a bloody beating. Shock alone would kill the average strong and husky male, saying nothing og the bleeding, infection and scaring.
It is torture thing only thing that gives such men an erection (I include Cheney in that comment, and his boss.).

Beyond heartbreaking. And next her husband? It would be nice to have a 2 dimensional map of the planet that measured regions of insaity by shades of red.
I once took a job in a mental word during a college summer (didn't make much money!) for the "experience" I wanted to find out first hand what that reality was like. I learned two things: (1.) 95% of the conversations were about God and sex, and (2.) the "aides" and "nurses" were more dead than the patients.
Religious insanity and torture are like inbreath and outbreath.

' Yeesterday, about 6pm I happened to pass by the Sennaya Square..
And there was a woman whipped publicly, a young country girl,
She uttered not a word of pain, just you could hear the whip ...
And I told my muse- Look at her, that's your sister...
Nicholai Nekrasov,1860s
We studied this poem in school. Maybe if American students study something like that they would have someone better than Cheney, the birdkiller... From him, though, what can we expect, really?

...that this is a shocking, outrageous thing. However, to even think that the dud-namic-duo of DUBYA and Dick(LESS) would do anything other than licking the sandy, oily boot heels of Saudis shouldn't be surprising in the least.
After all, was it not Saudi terrorists that attacked us on 9/11? Didn't DUBYA say he would wave his private parts at any country that sponsored terrorism or harbored terrorists? What ever became of that?
Oh, yeah, he blamed the terrorism on and attacked one of the most progressive Muslim countries in the world: Iraq. He and the rest of his rich-bitch butt buddies decided it was better for the world to squash a progressive Muslim country than it was to slap the shit out of a KNOWN terrorist state; specifically Saudi Arabia. I suppose the fact that Saudi Arabia holds approximately ten percent of the American Economy in the pockets of their white, flowing, robes was a serious reason to not look in THEIR direction.
Who cares about their human rights violations? Who cares about their support of terrorists and terrorist organizations? Not DUBYA! Not Dick(LESS)! Money talks!
It is sad that in a time when we can go into space at will, there are still countries that meter out their justice in such a draconian way. Unfortunately, this is exactly what's happening.
I guess that should make us all a little less interested in allowing a christian theocracy to be allowed to bloom here. At least, I hope such will be the case.
Blessed be! Pappy

...and that's why we don't go after them on civil and human rights issues.
I suppose the fact that Saudi Arabia holds approximately ten percent of the American Economy in the pockets of their white, flowing, robes was a serious reason to not look in THEIR direction.
That's also why they were allowed to flee the country when no one else was allowed to fly after 9/11.

How does someone survive 200 lashes? If this poor woman who is now a double victim passes out from the pain, will she be revived so she can continue to enjoy the fruits of her crime?
She would probably have another 200 lashes added on for the crime of passing out. And these are the people who are sending a foreign minister to the Annapolis peace talks. Partners in peace? Not for women, evidently.
