shoeshine Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 The US handed the prison over to the Iraquis just one week ago, and guess what......... Today's DailyTelegraph The notorious Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad is at the centre of fresh abuse allegations just a week after it was handed over to Iraqi authorities, with claims that inmates are being tortured by their new captors. Staff at the jail say the Iraqi authorities have moved dozens of terrorist suspects into Abu Ghraib from the controversial Interior Ministry detention centre in Jadriyah, where United States troops last year discovered 169 prisoners who had been tortured and starved. An independent witness who went into Abu Ghraib this week told The Sunday Telegraph that screams were coming from the cell blocks housing the terrorist suspects. Prisoners released from the jail this week spoke of routine torture of terrorism suspects and on Wednesday, 27 prisoners were hanged in the first mass execution since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime. Conditions in the rest of the jail were grim, with an overwhelming stench of excrement, prisoners crammed into cells for all but 20 minutes a day, food rations cut to just rice and water and no air conditioning. Today's Daily Telegraph Some of the small number of prisoners who remained in the jail after the Americans left said they had pleaded to go with their departing captors, rather than be left in the hands of Iraqi guards.

They treated us better," said Khalid Alaani, who was held on suspicion of involvement in Sunni terrorism Full Report Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downtroad Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Thats kind of where we are at the moment. The once proud and great country of America being juxtaposed to Iraq in this thread and Iran in another. I remember when a comparison couldn't be made, back in the good old days.
