Marines Free Iraqis Tortured by Insurgents in Western Iraq
[Kapitalismo] I just saw a report on CNN that during the course of Operation Spear in western Iraq, Marines freed four Iraqis that were being tortured by...

No, Death Cultists Do Torture Right: But inside this complex, they found something even more sinister -- four Iraqis who were handcuffed, their hands and feet bound with steel cuffs. They're now being taken away for medical treatment, one being borne away on a stretcher.

[BROKEN WINDOWS] Fanning the flame of hatred: Seized off the streets of Kirkuk or in joint U.S.-Iraqi raids, the men have been transferred secretly and in violation of Iraqi law to prisons in the Kurdish cities of Irbil and Sulaymaniyah, sometimes with the knowledge of U.S. forces. The detainees, including merchants, members of tribal families and soldiers, have often remained missing for months;
[Healingiraq.blogspot.com] Healing Iraq: And it is clear that the organization of Sayyid Muqtada - and whoever follows the Sadrist movement - were the first to violate the sanctity of the yard of Haydari Shareef (Imam Ali's shrine in Najaf) when they fired shots inside it at Sayyid Abdul Majeed Al-Kho'ei and killed Sayyid Yasiri within it and wounded Sayyid Majeed and killed Sayyid Hayder Al-Kelidar afterwards. And they are the very same who ignited the fuse of the bloody fight, whose victims among gathered believers were sacrificed over control of the shrine of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him), and it is possible for our lord [Nasrallah] to verify the former by asking his Excellence the Marji' Ayatollah Sheikh Ishaq Al-Fayyadh and from the sons of his Excellence the Marji' Ayatollah Sayyid Muhammad Sa'eed Al-Hakim and the latter with the help of his Excellence Sheikh 'Abdul Mahdi Al-Karbala'i, the representative of the Marji'iyah in Karbala and from his Excellence Sayyid Muhammad Ridha Al-Sistani [the son of Grand Ayatollah Sistani] in person.
[Blog.newstandardnews.net] Iraq Dispatches: But NewStandard correspondent Dahr Jamail was there, and he wrote the story and took the photographs that should appear on the front pages of newspapers across the US tomorrow morning. The story he gathered -- standing among the people who watched the Iraqi-escorted convoy pass, and even talking to Iraqi soldiers and police -- differs dramatically from the version told by Marines and the Western journalists "embedded" with the convoy.

[Thetruthaboutiraq.org] The Truth About Iraq : Blog: Is Iraq Better Off? Ask the Iraqis ...: In Pennsylvania, Kerry described Iraq as "the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time." In New York, he opined that murderous cleric Muqtada Sadr "holds more sway in suburbs of Baghdad than Prime Minister [Iyad] Allawi." In Columbus, Ohio, the senator claimed to have a more accurate perspective on the situation in Iraq than did the interim prime minister, whose favorability rating of 73% among Iraqis, it's worth noting, is higher than Kerry's 48% favorability rating among Americans in the latest polls. Kerry, of course, has never set foot in Iraq.
