The video is clearly fake... The media should hold higher standards, and verify sources before publishing to the public. A peaceful agreement can be reached but it requires sensible actions by both parties.

Fake or not, the real problem for the US is that the video is credible. The rest of the world has not forgotten Abu Graihb.

According to the Wikipedia article, this was standard procedure: "anyone taken to holding cells of the New York federal courthouse is automatically subjected to a strip search". That's just barbaric.

And yet what is interesting is a note in that article saying they did strip search her. In other words what they are saying is "we strip searched her but this isn't the video of it."

hmmm..... Not sure if that really helps.

I'm interested to know why it is "clearly" fake - I followed your link and understand the denials, but have no reason to believe them over any other account.

Ehi, It's Yahoo + they cited 'US State Department'. Must be true.

Sensible action would be not strip searching innocent people, but I am going to assume that you already know that, troll.
