Do we have the liberal media say anything about this -- such as giving credit to the US and our troops for closing these places down and getting rid of the terrorists who were doing the torturing?
Why did I have to go to find this in Australia breaking news?

1450 detained in Fallujah campaign
From correspondents in Baghdad

THE US military said today its forces and Iraqi troops had detained 1,450 people during the massive operation against insurgents in the rebel enclave of Fallujah.

Looks like we killed about 1600, detained around 1400. A couple of more operations like this and we will have cleaned out most of the terrorists.

"Why did I have to go to find this in Australia breaking news?" Because the American elite media are actively engaged in sedition. They want to see the war in Iraq fail. Preferably with a large number of gruesome American casualties, at least if they get good film. The rape and beheading of a female American soldier would be ideal in the minds of the sick jackals who bring us the "news."

Unless it involves our soldiers in some sort of real or imagined wrongdoing, it just doesn't seem to get MSM's attention, does it? Had one of ours put some panties on a terrorist's head (I refuse to say "insurgent") in our custody, well, we'd have heard a lot about that--while they ignored the pile of dead and tortured bodies in the next room.

Why did I have to go to find this in Australia breaking news? Because the Liberal MSM has made a tacit alliance with the Islamofascists.

Attention NY Times, et al.: Here is a story for section D Page 38 of your propagandist rags. Don't forget to use tiny print and an innocuous headline.

Torture sites, dead bodies, a gutted woman with her arms and legs cut off, home owners and shopkeepers kicked out by terrorists or used as human shields, mosques used as forts and arsenals.
The MSM has covered practically none of this. They are basically PR flaks for the DNC and the terrorists.

If the "Old Media" DID write an article on this story it would have said that U.S. military causes "insurgents" to use extreme measures for their survival, making the citizens of Falujah to comply to their "wishes" by use of torture, making sure their "wishes" would be obeyed. Of course this would not have happened had our military not callously invaded a peaceful city that had only sought to live in peace. But the Bush Administration in it's hunger to appease their financial backers like Haliburton and other oil refineries, blatanly entered Fallujah under the false pretense that their were terrorists there, and that even Al Zarkawi's headquarters were in that city just so they would have complete, domineering control over the country of Iraq and it's citizens and OIL FIELDS so that with this booty they could pay back the contributors to the Bush Campaign. It is our opinion that an independent prosecutor should investigate this matter, no matter the cost or time involved to get to the bottom of this. It has been reported by cBS News that a memo has been given them that this was a plan that was created even before the war with Iraq began, and that President Bush wanted to use the pretense of "weapons of mass destruction" as a ruse to invade Iraq for the purpose of taking over their oil fields, and the rest is history. Other cBS memos received from unimpeachable, highly regarded, unamed sources say that Bush is going to use this ploy as a jumping point to invade Saudi Arabia, and all the other "oil rich nations" to completely take over all oil fields in the Middle East, allowing Halliburton and other companies who donated heavily into the Bush Coffers to become even richer and in turn give the Bush Regime Administration more money which to use for up coming elections, thus insuring many more victory for the GOP.

That's how many they found. I wonder how many overall.
If these houses are in Fallujah, they are everywhere else.
The Iraq people have to have had enough of this crappola.
Time for them to step up even more big time and rat 'em all out.

Y'know, even if the maindream media DID say something about this, something positive about our Military and the great good they are doing there, I'd miss it. I quit watching them years ago.

20 gruesome torture sites in one mid-major sized city alone, and possibly more?! The sickening truth about saddam's genocidal regime grows that much more potent.
The MSM have neither the balls nor the brains to release this information to the public. After all, we can't have the reality of Saddam's evil actions getting in the way of their carefully manufactured anti-Bush, anti-war template.
The MSM has to keep feeding the sheeple their leftist propoganda or their beloved Democrat Party won't even stand a chance of re-taking power in America.
