Iraq Is As Bad Now As Under Saddam
I know that rightwingers seem to think that liberals take pleasure when bad things happen in Iraq in Afghanistan. That’s such a stupid theory. After all, we’re the ones that didn’t want anyone to die in the first place.
Anyway, I’m sure they think we’re pleased as pink with the lastest news from John Pace, former director of Human Rights for the U.N. Assistance Mission for Iraq. He’s been saying that human rights abuses in Iraq are as bad now as they were under Saddam Hussein and the level of extra-judicial executions and torture is up; morgue workers are being threatened by both government military and insurgents not to investigate deaths.
