Abu Grahb? Look how them wacki iraqi do it

According to The Washington Post April 24, 2006

Last Nov. 13, U.S. soldiers found 173 incarcerated men, some of them
emaciated and showing signs of torture, in a secret bunker in an Interior
Ministry compound in central Baghdad...Since then, there have been at least
six joint U.S.-Iraqi inspections of detention centers, most of them run by Iraq's
Shiite Muslim-dominated Interior Ministry. Two sources involved with the
inspections, one Iraqi official and one U.S. official, said abuse of prisoners was found at all the sites visited through February. U.S. military authorities confirmed that signs of severe abuse were observed at two of the detention centers.


The U.S. official involved in the inspections, who would not be identified by name, described in an e-mail the abuse found during some of the visits since the Nov. 13 raid: "Numerous bruises on the arms, legs and feet. A lot of the Iraqis had separated shoulders and problems with their hands and fingers too. You could also see strap marks on some of their backs."

But they didn't make them sit uncomfortably or put them in naked pyramids? How barbaric!
