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

[directfiesta]

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 ...

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.

UK aid funds Iraqi torture units

The Observer

British and American aid intended for Iraq's hard-pressed police service is being diverted to paramilitary commando units accused of widespread human rights abuses, including torture and extra-judicial killings, The Observer can reveal.

Iraqi Police Service officers said that ammunition, weapons and vehicles earmarked for the IPS are being taken by shock troops at the forefront of Iraq's new dirty counter-insurgency war.

The allegations follow a wide-ranging investigation by this paper into serious human rights abuses being conducted by anti-insurgency forces in Iraq. The Observer has seen photographic evidence of post-mortem and hospital examinations of alleged terror suspects from Baghdad and the Sunni Triangle which demonstrate serious abuse of suspects including burnings, strangulation, the breaking of limbs and - in one case - the apparent use of an electric drill to perform a knee-capping.

Its obvious nobody really cares what happens to the Iraqies....just as long as there are some muslims (innocent or not) getting killed in retaliation for 9/11.... thats all that really matters.

Go Bush!
