"The Americans were better than the Iraqis. They treated us better," said Khalid Alaani, who was held on suspicion of involvement in Sunni terrorism."

"Someone was shouting 'Please help us, we want the human rights officers, we want the Americans to come back'," he said.

The world of the Left is collapsing down around them. What a bunch of "maroons".

Maybe they realize now, that their "claims of torture" were nothing compared to the real thing.

It will be interesting to see how much US coverage this article gets. I doubt it will get much. To borrow a phrase from someone we all know: "An inconvenient truth"

[Just Lori]

And they deserve the real thing!

[SouthernBoyupNorth]

just another case of "you don't know what you've got till it's gone."

Though S*&^

The Iraqi's must use thongs instead of the American briefs. Those poor saps.

"Prisoners interviewed in the presence of their jailers said they were frightened for their safety. They complained that chicken and milk had been cut from their rations, leaving them on rice and water. They also complained about the oppressive heat.

Outside the prison, relatives of some of the inmates said they were being tortured by their captors. One woman, who gave her name as Omsaad, said: "My son Saad [who was arrested in Fallujah as a suspected insurgent] said he is being tortured by the Iraqis to confess the name of his leader. I met my son and he told me they were being treated badly by the Iraqis."

What's the old line? " When the gods want to punish you they give you exactly what you prayed for."

So it's ok.

How do you like us so far?

[JustDoItAlways]

These guys are blowing up/murdering innocent people left, right and centre and they are supposed to be treated fairly now?

[ElkGroveDan]

The guards were swearing at us, but in the terrorist section they were beating them. I heard it all the time.

Boo friggin hoo. I bet the families of the flight crews whose throats were slit five years ago aren't shedding any tears.

[TShaunK]

How do you like us now?
