    I am sorry to say that i am so discussed by the US media! I am originaly Algerian and i lived in Europe and North America for many years now. Let me tell you first of all that GHARDIA is a city in the extreme south of Algeria (In the desert) which is about nealy 800km away from Algiers (the capital), and NOT a MARKET!. Northern Algeria is all green with mountains and beautiful mediteranean beaches, and women do not necessarily all dress like the picture you are presenting in the article. Lots of them dress in a westernised way (i.e. short miny skirts! and bikinis on the beach!) and others choose to wear what they call a modern veil (fashionable head scarves), so this is to give a little image first about the physical appearance of women. Algeria hosts several diplomats and business men and it was common that several of those had affairs with local ladies. Respectable women, not necessarily trying to run away from local men who dont respect them! but women who have preference to western guys just as several american men like asian women! bottom line is, this CIA agent should have never gone away with his CRIME! the US politic is totaly hypocrit choosing to punish the others but not its own people!
    Imagine if an Algerian diplomat in Washington has done the same thing! he will be kicked off the states the next day and it will be all over the news (including YOUR newspaper first) and the american media will start investigations and trying to show how algerian people mistreat their women! I just find it insane how the american media reacts, is that the aim of justice? are you people on any oath to say the truth and only the truth do you even realise all the damage you are causing to the international relations of those countries?...i guess you dont as long as you get your pay cheques and nobody hits you with a missile or rapes your daughters! Imagine if this agent's victim was your own daughter? wont you go to the UN asking for some stupide official international appologies? or even to go on trial against the entire organisation which employes this agressor??! This man would have never gone to MY country and raped MY own people if the CIA did not send him their for work. This man would have never had access to those drugs and materials if the US governement did not provide it to him! So, the CIA is to be blamed and judged! of course, in an IDEAL world where justice is above all human beings and not just poorer countries! I dont know if Mr OBAMA will be changing the american international policies but if you americans dont want to disappear from this civilisation, then you better start to respect human beings. History has shown how the greatest imperialists have fallen, Rome, Greece, Egypt...etc today the US is being an imperialist and it will fall much sooner if it doesnt decide to be a part of the humanity and help this world to create a better future.
    God bless justice

    The CIA is now recruiting guys our of Norfolk State University? It used to be the CIA got the majority of ts agents from the Ivy Leage. Norfolk State is essentially a second-rate junior college...

    Why must popular magazines equate brutal rape -- what the UN defines as torture-- as "sex." You promote the notion that drugging and assaulting women is somehow normal. Of course the media is complicit in creating norms. You should be deeply ashamed of your role in continuing to promote abuse of women as "sex." What makes this horrific is not the act of a single man, no matter how brutal, but the let's join in the fun by pretending this is "sex."

    Another black eye for USA global image..

    Present the facts in a court of law, and if tried and convicted, send him to prison. Our world image needs to be restoed, and the best place to start is by punishing those among us who destroy it for their own selfish motives.

    He is an embarrasment to humanity. He and the U.S.which set him up in Algeria should be made to pay compensation to the victims and charges should be brought against him.

    A whole grown up man who cannot seduce a woman but has to result to drugging and raping them is a shame to humanity and cannot hold a candle to animal. They don't do that.

    it seems to me this is the wrong headline, I think we are all aware, rape isn't sex, it's violence against the victim,
    a sex scandal is Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton

    This is devastating! I sincerely hope there is a very complete investigation and that the guilt or innocence of this man is determined with surety.
