Caldwell confirmed that "an Iraqi woman" was brought to the U.S.-run hospital Sunday evening and released the following morning but refused to give further details or talk about her treatment.

However, the prime minister's office e-mailed news organizations what it said was a U.S. medical report indicating no signs of rape.

The one-page English language form indicated blood and other tests had been performed and included a handwritten note in English stating "no lacerations" or "obvious bruising." The word rape was not used.

Maj-Gen Caldwell said the woman was admitted to Ibn Sina late on Sunday and released the following morning after treatment, which he did not detail.

"The medical report did not come from US forces. We have a strict policy - we never release any medical information on patients. Period," he said, adding that she had been given a copy of the report when she left the hospital.

1. You mean Nouri al-Maliki lied?

I am shocked, shocked I tell you. :eyes:

Seriously, was this a surprise? When Shi'ite militias grab people
with obvious police assistance, the government consistently tries
to play it down. This is not only more of the same, it also shows
that Maliki still can't be trusted.

Operation Imposing Law is just another sham.

2. additionally he is yet to call these "Shi'ite militias" terrorists

in fact he wants them to become part of the political process :crazy:
