Japanese human shield now the the Madam of Baghdad

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.

Where you have soldiers or any other bunch of men in a foreign place without their own women you will have whore houses-I may not agree with it, but thousands of years of it seem to say it is inevitable.

But I want to state emphatically that there were never sexual services offered there.

She's a student of the Billy Jeff school of denial.

Well, I see her run as a small business owner only lasted 5 months. Probably about average for a lib. If she had been a conservative, she'd likely not only still be in business now, but also looking at franchising the operation... ;-)
