Tomgram: Victoria Brittain, Fighting a Global War of Terror | TomDispatch

The Global War on Terror has had many victims since it was launched by President George W. Bush soon after September 11, 2001.  In his “crusade,” a word he used publicly before he thought better of it ("This crusade," he said, "this war on terrorism”), the history of kidnappings and renditions, torture and abuse, imprisonment without charges or trial, drone assassinations and the killing of civilians is by now well known (for those who care to know).  But there are other less noted kinds of “collateral damage” from more than a decade of such conflict, including damage to
women on both sides -- or perhaps ends -- of the war.
