Iraqi authorities hanged 27 convicted "terrorists" on Wednesday, the interior ministry announced.

"Twenty-seven terrorists were hanged today in Baghdad. Most of them were Iraqis," interior ministry spokesman Abdul Karim Khalaf told AFP.

The authorities reinstated the death penalty which was abolished after the US-led invasion of March 2003.

maybe we should start sending to Iraq not only the scumbags in Gitmo but also the Americans & Illegals on death row too!

I wonder why this 'news organization' decided to use quotes around 'terrorists'. Oh wait, Agence France-Press. Nevermind.

I think it means Iran has operations going on in Iraq.

My bad.... I misread the story to say "Iran" did the hangings...

I think they should hang them within sight of Saddam and pals.

You're right. I misread the headline and thought it said "Iran."

It dependeth on the method of hanging, whether it is by the neck, by the feet, or by the appendages...

We have to put quotation marks around "terrorists" so we won't offend them and they won't stop loving us.

The tide has turned. Iraq has turned the corner, gas prices are plummeting, the economy is roaring, and Dubya is starting the war crime tribunals. Great news for the U.S which means bad news for the dems.

I guess this means Murtha had better not go back to Iraq.

"terrorists"...Yes once again we see terrorists in quotes. By this curious puncuation mark placement, I assume they are saying that since the newly elected by the people Iraqi government was helped to form by the US goverment, it goes without saying that the Iraqi government must be just like the US government run by the criminal George Bush, evil and corrupt as well, and therefore "terrorists" could mean anything from "real terrorists" to "innocent Iraqi women and children".

I want to see the SAME biased media start writing "dead civilians" as "dead 'civilians'". When insurgents have no formal army, EVERYONE is a civilian.

"Terrorists" as "political enemies". It is just a purge.
