not gaining it, because of the lack of security.

She said women stay indoors all day because of the chaos and anarchy. There has been a huge increase in rapes, kidnappings, murders, etc. No civil order.

Most Iraqis live in misery. There is still two hours of electricity on, then four hours off, two hours on, etc. Clean water is still a problem.

Valium addiction is a big problem. It doesn't require a prescription and is $0.20 per bottle. People just numb themselves and there is no treatment, shelters, psychologists, etc. Valium is the escape.

CNN helped with the report but it was shown on Oprah. Her show was doing profiles of thirty year old women living all over the world. The Iraqi women was just one profile.

Her father and brother were both killed by Hussein but she still said life is much worse now.

Why doesn't CNN show this on their channel?
