ABU GHRAIB
Friday, February 18, 2005
Ever hear of Abu Ghraib? Hmm... I seem to recall something printed on the back page of the newspaper or tucked in the end of some newscast some months ago. Wasn't that some event where terrorists were stripped and had photos taken of them? Ever hear about the widespread rape of Congolese children by U.N. soldiers and the hundreds of babies, fathered by U.N. personnel that have been born to Congolese girls and women -- including the 15-year-old deaf mute daughter of Aimee Tsesi? Ever hear about the monstrosities that have been tolerated by U.N. brass for years. The latest Congo revelations come three years after another U.N. report found "widespread" evidence of sexual abuse of West African refugees. Girls and women in East Timor, Cambodia and Kosovo have reported sex crimes perpetrated by U.N. peacekeepers.) Oh yeah! That's been all OVER the mainstream news outlets and on the front page of the LA Times for weeks!

    It is truly a shame that the media has largely stayed away from this. Where is the outrage?

"Snipet" (pronounced: snipe - it) is not a word.It is a derivative of two words: "Snipe" and "Snippet".


Miriam Webster defines Snipe as: to aim a carping or snide attack, or: to shoot at exposed individuals (as of an enemy's forces) from a usually concealed point of vantage.


Miriam Webster defines Snippet as: : a small part, piece, or thing; especially : a brief quotable passage.


In short, "Snipets" are brief, snide shots at exposed situations from a concealed vantage point.
