Press Release Public Affairs Section Embassy of the United States of America Ankara, Turkey December 23, 2003
Dr. Susan Block, a U.S. citizen, has
written to the Embassy regarding an October 22 front-page article in “Yeni
Safak” that named her as the “source” for an outrageous claim that U.S.
forces had raped thousands of women in Iraq. A letter from Dr. Block states
that “This attribution is absolutely false. I have never said or written any
such thing. The article
referred to by “Yeni Safak,” entitled “The Rape of Iraq,” uses the image
of rape as a metaphor for military invasion, and has nothing to do with
the literal raping of Iraqi women by American troops or anyone else.” Dr. Block expressed concern that the Embassy statement of October 23 regarding the “Yeni Safak” article “leaves the impression that I did say or write such things. I did not.” |
