A Japanese woman who went to Iraq as a human shield is now copping flak in the war-torn country for opening a Baghdad brothel for American servicemen, according to Shukan Shincho (1/27).

Iraqi communists are up in arms, claiming the human shield who entered their country because she was opposed to the U.S. starting a war there is now operating a sex service for GIs.

"A Japanese woman called Yukiko Muragishi came to Iraq with her friends to act as a human shield and stayed there when the war had finished. She stayed because, inside Baghdad's Green Zone being protected by the U.S. military, she is running a whorehouse for U.S. servicemen and Iraqi politicians and it has made her very rich. All you Islamic leaders in your palaces in the Green Zone, your prayers are worthless as long as American soldiers are playing around in brothels," Shukan Shincho quotes an article listed on the Iraqi Communist Party's website last month.

Other Arabic publications have picked up on the story and reported it widely through the Middle East.

Yukiko Muragishi, however, the woman accused of being the Madam of Baghdad, vehemently denies the accusations. The 33-year-old native of Shiga Prefecture says she thought only of humanitarian concerns after developing a love for Iraq while visiting the country as a dancer a decade ago.

My favorite quote in the article:

"The more I came in contact with American military members, the more I realized they were the victims of war, too. I wanted to do something to help them. The idea I came up with to do so was to provide them with therapeutic massages."

[MeanWestTexan]

I'm sure she'll love them "long time."

[socal_parrot]

"The Red Zone is for unloading...."

[infidel29]

Is that "American military members" or the "American military's members"?

Full Metal jacket flashback...

Considering the source of the article (I looked at the sidebar when I read the full-length version), you'd need more than just a grain of salt with this one.

Prostitution comes naturally to the left. They've already prostituted their souls, why should adding in the body make a difference?

The idea I came up with to do so was to provide them with therapeutic massages." Message has happy ending :-)

[llevrok]

She has a very relaxed dress code too. Sort of come as you are....

and stayed there when the war had finished.

Well, this should count as breaking news.

Same as the old one - ho for the media. I guess they failed to mention that media personnel are some of her clients too.

HHHmmmm How did they find her?

Shukan "Tokyo Blows" Shincho brings a new meaning to the word "hummer" for the US Marines. I'm sure that UNICEF will fly in a million or so "supergalactic phropylactics".

[Red6]

Alrighty then,

a new meaning to the word "hummer" for the US Marines

I'd suggest talking some old Marines before making that claim.

[Savage Beast]

"Many were traumatized by what they'd had to do. To try and rid themselves of this feeling, they'd try and justify their actions. They often got so wound up with their justifications, you couldn't shut them up."

Maybe Muragishi could set up some therapeutic massages for PEST-sufferers.

Bwaaaahaaa! "long time"-my husband told me about that.

For 100 american dollars, GI, maybe all night...
