Linkage to BBC article

This time, he describes the horror of the past 24 hours from memory - a memory which is certain to haunt him for the rest of his life.

Dhai Adnan Saleh is both extremely lucky and extremely brave.

He is one of very few survivors of a mass killing by police commandos and he has dared to speak publicly about what happened.

He and at least nine other relatives - all Sunni Muslims - were detained earlier this month, apparently because they were suspected of being insurgents following a shoot-out in their area.

"The police started to beat us, tied our hands and blindfolded us," he said.

"We were left from 5.30 that evening inside a kind of container that had no air vents. After one hour, we lost consciousness and some people began to die, the others were dead by one o'clock in the morning."

The other survivors who were in a serious condition were treated at Baghdad's main hospital under heavy guard by police commandos.

The BBC was not allowed to speak to them and was not allowed to enter the morgue where the bodies were kept.


Foreshadowing of civil war. This with Rummy's announcement of a possible withdrawal mid next year could have very dire consequences for Iraq and it's people.

Who cares.. they are better off without Saddam.. give it a rest... do you want to be labeled a "liberal" or labeled as someone who hates our military..

some people think you are not allowed to complain about anything done in your name by our military unless you are or were in the armed services

Yeah--wassup with that (siding with the insurgents and terrorists who are now going to wait until we leave to strike)

Why does Rumsfeld hate America? :confused:

Standard tit for tat.

The Shi's observed well what the Sunni's under Sasddam did.

Apparently the Sunni's feel that what went on for 30+ years should be forgotten.

They had a situation last summer where a group of soldiers from the Oregon National Guard were patrolling. They were on the upper floors of a building and using their rifle scopes and binoculars to look around for trouble. They noticed someone beating a group of men a few blocks away. They proceeded to check it out. They found a handful of Iraqi policemen and a couple dozen prisoners. The prisoners were bound and were being beaten with something like a baton. Some of them had some pretty serious bruises from the beating. They subdued the Iraqi policemen, mediaclly assisted some of the prisoners and then called in to headquarters for guidance on what to do next. They were told to release the Iraqi policemen and leave the situation as they found it.
