U.S. Guards Shoot Dead 4 Inmates in Iraq Prison Riot
51 minutes ago

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. troops shot dead four inmates during a riot at a military prison in southern Iraq and six other detainees were injured on Monday, the U.S. military said.

The riot at Camp Bucca Theater Internment Facility erupted after a routine search for contraband in one of the camp's 10 compounds and spread to three other compounds, with detainees throwing rocks and fashioning weapons, the military said.

U.S. guards opened fire after the rioting raged unabated for 45 minutes. The injuries were caused both by guards and by other inmates during the riot, the military said.

Upset over their failure to stop Iraqi Election Day, they are now four good IslamoFascists.

Nothing wrong with this as long as they did not make them wear underwear on their heads. I'm sure now these prisoners will think twice about rioting again. Good work Soldier.

Finally! ....finally the libs have something to talk about today. All this happy election stuff was starting to stress them out. For them January 30th will not be known as the day of the 1st Iraq election but rather the day before the "Great prison massacre of 2005" or however they choose to hype it up.

A gatling gun mounted from a helicopter would do just fine.

Exactly. Another atrocity for the DUers.

I hope the CRATS make an issue of this. This way the MSM will get the news out which would probably not be reported. This is good news and most Americans will definitely be on the side of the military. Four rats that no longer will be a threat.
