How Iraqis Are Responding to The Torture Pictures Good morning….
Baghdad is quite. There was less traffic since the publishing of the torture
photos from Abu Gharib. It feels like the whole city sank into sadness and
disbelief. People used to talk about such incidents but as they had no
proof, it was nothing but gossip. Then the pictures were published and it
turned into a fact...

Did Sistani Agree To The US Entrance Into The Shiite Holy Cities Of Najaf and Karbala? If Sistani agreed to allow US forces to enter Najaf and Karbala to attack Sadr's militia, a civil war will soon hit Iraq. Sistani may be the most respected religious leader but after the latest pictures of US torture and the massacre of hundreds of innocent Iraqis in Fallujah, siding with the occupier will ultimately doom Sistani and lead to greater power for Sadr (or if he is killed, his followers)...

Iraqi Police? Yesterday driving down the highway we passed a U.S. patrol traveling in the opposite direction. One of the trucks carried soldiers wielding their guns in the usual way: aiming them at all of the passing traffic. The soldiers had plywood around them as they stood in the back of the truck. On the plywood was spray painted, "South Carolina Killers."
When do we choose to stop calling the brutal occupiers "liberators," and begin calling them the names associated with their ...
