This is an awesome cause. I wish I knew something to write to help out, but I’m so useless when I comes to things like this.

Judith, I think the difference in this case is that we got a visual documentation by cellphone of a live girl who in a matter of minutes was brutally beaten to a bloody pulp. I’m pretty sure that all honor killings are just as horrendous. Pictures, film and any other visual media are just more immediate, intimate than words. Just imagine how revved up the protests would be against Darfur if we actually saw videos of women being raped and children being hacked to pieces. Again, pictures are more visceral than mere words reported coldly in news items or even passionately in books.

i realize that now everyone is aware of the Honor Killings in Iraq—but these have been common practice in India/Pakistan for much longer…read The God Of Small Things by Arundati Roy—-to get an idea of the stigma attached to “wrong attachments”…seems to me there were news stories on Honor Killings several years ago. and now they happen in Iraq (our defacto 51st sate) they’re NEWS?????

I posted this on my BtVS community, which had already been following the story, and which is chock-full of pro writers and editors and poets and such. Hope some people get in touch with you.

Will try to come up with a contribution, but barring that, am a kick-ass copy editor and proofreader. Will contact via e with personal info.

And btw? go team you for working, speaking and fighting the good fight.

Blogged about it. That should inform at least three more whole people about it, but it was something I needed to do.

Man, I just hope I can come up with something worthy to submit. What an amazing project. What a shame we have to even do projects like this one.

What a fabulous project. I cannot wait to buy this book…and Bam, you’d better have something for me to crit for this project as well! Since I don’t write, that will be my small (and happily made) contribution…
