Torture...but it's not us this time

Looks as though the Shiites have acquired a nasty habit. I wonder if they got it from their former “leader” or the current “liberators” in their country.

Last month, a bunker underneath Interior Ministry building in Baghdad was raided by US forces. Almost 170 Sunni Arab men were found in the bunker. Many of the men were malnourished and some appeared to have been tortured.

A deputy Interior Minister told CNN: "I've never seen such a situation like this during the past two years in Baghdad. This is the worst. I saw signs of physical abuse by brutal beating, one or two detainees were paralyzed and some had their skin peeled off."

And just last week, 13 Sunni men were found among 600 detainees crowded into an Interior Ministry commando unit’s detention facility. All of the men required immediate medical attention. Twelve of the men had been subjected to torture, including broken bones, pulled fingernails, cigarettes burns, and electric shocks.

This is what we “liberated” in Iraq. The ability of the once tortured Shiites to seek their revenge.

You’re doing a heckuva job, Georgie.
