Different masters, same shit: Iraqi govt admits abuses by security forces

Time to put together a " coalition of the willings " and liberate the poor people of Iraq from the brutal dictators ....

Oups, that was done already. Democracy is now in place ...

Quote:
Iraq's Government has acknowledged that some of its new security forces are resorting to the sort of torture and abuses of detainees seen under Saddam Hussein as they struggle to put down Sunni Arab insurgents.

Responding to the latest of numerous reports alleging the widespread use of irregular arrests and of violence against prisoners by Iraqi police and other security units, a Government spokesman blamed it in part on the brutalising of Iraqi society under Saddam and said ministers were addressing the problem.

"These things happen. We know that," Laith Kubba told a news briefing after a report in Britain's Observer newspaper detailed allegations of death squads and secret torture centres.

"It does not happen because the Government approves it or adopts it as policy," he added, saying ministers were worried.

"At the end of the day, I'm sorry to say that we are living in a society where the culture now accepts these violations. I'm sorry to say the culture of violence has spread."

Six months ago, New York-based Human Rights Watch documented what it called "routine and commonplace" abuse by Iraqi forces.

The United States and Britain, the new Government's main backers, have voiced concern.
