		The apparent debunking of Hanna's story raises questions about her embrace by officials from the Coalition Provisional Authority, who in the summer of 2003 were eager to find Iraqis who would testify to some of the atrocities that the US had used as a reason to attack Iraq.
		The Esquire article quoted Hanna as saying that her mother had arranged her arrest -- in order to try to put a stop to a marriage that the mother opposed -- on charges of prostitution, theft, spying and plotting to overthrow the government.

		As Finn wrote, "Hanna, who agreed to the use of her full name, is just one of hundreds and possibly thousands of women who were tortured and sexually assaulted by the agents of the last government." In response, Townhall.com, proclaimed it "justification alone for Bush's Operation Iraqi Freedom." Who the hell in their right mind...
		Hanna did indeed spend time in jail - at the request of her own mother, who paid off some Iraqi police officials to jail her daugther for a few days in order to dissuade her from marrying her ethnic-Indian boyfriend.

		Jumana Michael Hanna was a poster girl for the ex post facto justification of the Iraq war.
		In July 2003, as the WMD hunt kept coming up empty and the Bush administration increasingly based its invasion on humanitarian grounds, Hanna surfaced to relate her harrowing tale about being imprisoned, raped, and tortured simply for marrying a foreigner—a man who she said was also jailed and brutalized, and later killed.
		The Hanna and Lynch tales recall an infamous incident during the buildup to the first Iraq war, when a 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl told Congress in October 1990 that invading Iraqi troops dumped newborn babies out of incubators.
