"We only tortured seven"
No one beheaded or killed.So says the Iraqi interior minister.
Let's get this straight. You say there's no big deal because no one found the bodies because you threw them in the river? Whoops, I meant, of course, no one found any evidence of murder. Whoops again.
Well, what is he saying? It's no big deal because these are bad guys, "criminal killers" (nice to know that the new Iraq is using due process before deciding that, hey?). I'll punish anyone that an investigation run by my own ministry into any of my own ministry's employees finds has abused an inmate. They are Arabs, whoops, no, sorry, they are Turkomen and Kurds.
They've been dragging bodies from the river for months now. The media have been reporting that militants dunnit. The people have been saying it's the interior ministry.
Join the dots. Look what we've done. Changed the driver but the car's on the same goddamned road. So what are we still there for?
