What Do You Think?
Nisreen Mansour al Forgani gave an interview to CNN and after watching it I don't know if I believe her or not. Oh, I believe she killed a bunch of Libyan rebels and I believe she is really sorry for it. I even believe she was raped by her commanders. I guess my wondering is whether she was really forced to be a part of this all female brigade or if she wanted to be. I also wonder if she was not so attractive if her story would still interest everyone. In case you have not heard the story, Nisreen is 19 and was captured by Libyan rebels. After she was captured she told her tale which she says starts with the divorce of her parents when she was younger to being forcibly taken away from her cancer battling mother to serve in the all female forces. She says that she was ordered to shoot rebel prisoners.
It was while she was an executioner that a gun battle erupted in the building she was using and during the battle tried to escape by jumping from a second story window and hurting her leg. Rebels captured her and brought her to the hospital where now she has gained worldwide fame. The rebels are going to put her on trial, but because of her fame, I wonder if anything will happen to her or should happen to her. Do you think anything should? Would your answer be different if this was a 19 year old guy or a 40 year old guy?
