Sunnis Shot in Arms & Legs Then Drowned

WashPost: US Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad on Tues described torture cases discovered in Iraqi police prisons as both extensive and severe, saying more than 120 abused detainees had been found in the 2 centers run by the Shiite-led govt that have been inspected so far. Khalilzad rejected Interior Ministry officials' suggestion that any mistreatment of prisoners had been mild, saying the abuse found was "far worse than slapping around." An Iraqi official who US authorities have said had firsthand knowledge of the search said the men had been subjected to torture that included broken bones, pulled fingernails, cigarettes stamped into skin and electric shocks. Of course, the Iraqi Shiites deny that Iranian intelligence agents and Iranian-Shiite clerics have any connection to the torture of the Sunnis in these Shia run prisons... but I'll believe that when monkeys fly out of a mullah's butt, too b/c how else can you justify behavior like this against Sunnis via the Sydney Morning Herald: "This from the mouth of a 14 yr old boy: "They tied the legs and hands of 11 Sunni men and hanged them off the river bridge - head-first. But they still refused to talk, so Sheik Khadum Shibley shot them in the arms and legs and then he cut the ropes."
