Fear of Rape in Iraq?

This story is making its way around the liberal side of the blogsphere. On the one hand, I hope and pray that it is simply not true. On the other hand, if it actually isn't true then I am disgusted that Col. Janis Karpinski (The former commander of Abu Ghraib) would sink so low. The setting for her disclosure, The Commission of Inquiry for Crimes against Humanity Committed by the Bush Administration, leaves a certain feel of disrespectability to it. Particularly since this is the first time she has made this claim.

I would be interested in any solid evidence about this, something that is completely lacking from her account. After all, Karpinski isn't exactly an un-interested observer here. Her career has been ruined because of what happened in Abu Ghraib, despite her claims that it really wasn't her fault. So she could easily have an axe to grind with the military. Or, she could simply have nothing left to lose and be telling the truth. But it sounds all too much like the claim of Americans aiming for news reporters, a bold claim but where is the evidence? As I said, I hope this story is not true. However, I hope that if it is true, the military actually takes action against the leaders who would allow this to happen to the brave women trying to defend our freedoms.
