The scene in question can be viewed here.

For those who do not have time to download it thanks to the evil of dial-up (which I only recently got right of), let me describe the scene.
Kreia/Darth Traya is standing with her lightsaber drawn and facing Darth Sion. Behind her, Nihilus approaches. We see Keia lifted into the air and hurled into a walll.
Does this sound like a Force Drain to anyone so far?
Moving on.
Kreia's dialogue at this point is
"There are techniques within the Force against which there is no defense."
We then see Kreia reach ut with TK and attempt to draw her lightsaber to her. It moves somewhat but she is too weak to draw it to her.
Now let's actually examine clear showings of Nihilus using a Force Drain.

At 1:07, we see Nihilus attempt to drain the Exile. The attack manifests itself as orange lightning.
Added but not canon confirmation of this can be found in the cut content between Nihilus and Sion.
Now we go to the comic Unseen, Unheard where Nihilus drains all of the planet Katarr.

Now what Kreia later specifically says happened to her:
"And there would be those, like me, who have had the Force stripped from them."
This poses somewhat of a contradiction to what we saw... If he stripped her of The Force, she couldn't move her lightsaber at all. Of course, we can pose in our own theories. Perhaps after he lifted her up and threw her into the wall and while she was trying to move her lightsaber, he stripped her of The Force.
This is not proveable but neither is that Nihilus used a Force Drain on her.
In conclusion:
-What we see in the scene does not depict any version of Force Drain from Nihilus.
-Kreia states she was stripped of The Force but we see her lightsaber move some.
-The bit about there being no defense against certan techniques is more ambiguous than Michael Jackin's current sex and/or gender.
I want a reasonable discussion of this. What is your thoughts and opinion on the evidence provided. Did he drain her?
