Hi Kevin: I study media and international affairs at Columbia University, so I'm following print coverage very closely & have been since the begining of the war. An area of coverage that's going vastly underreported: the impact of the war on women. The Times ran an article about a month ago about the ramifications of Hussein opening prisons just prior to US engagement on crimes against women, specifically rape and kidnapping.

The article suggested that the US military is doing little to address this issue specifically, and I see little in the press on the topic. Please don't be shy about persuing this coverage. What's the real story? What's the awareness of troops as to the issue? What can Iraqi men and women tell you?

Thank you, and good luck out there.
