Chain wrapped around 'old man's body' found in mosque

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- "There are the bloodstains on the wall, and here it is dried on the floor," says Abu Muhanad as he walks through a torture chamber in a Baghdad mosque where more than two dozen bodies have been found.

Two women clutch photographs of loved ones believed killed by the Mehdi Army.

"And here, a woman's shoes. She was a victim of the militia. We found her corpse in the grave."

Chunks of hair waft lazily across the floor in the hot Baghdad breeze.

"This was the torture room," says Muhanad, the leader of a U.S.-backed armed group that now controls the mosque.

"This is what they used for hanging," he says, pointing to a cord dangling from the ceiling. "Here is a chain we found tied to an old man's body."

“This was my son’s grave,” says Abu Wissam pointing to one of the many shallow holes in the mosque’s garden. “We recovered his corpse completely rotten. His hands and legs were amputated and his head was decapitated.”

“He was just a college graduate,” his mother sobs clutching her 25-year-old son’s photo.

I don't care what anyone says. Not killing Mookie 2 years ago was a terrible blunder.

That and his 'army' should have been wiped out to a man.

Gitmo is too good for these monsters, and yet the left will try to convince you that it is the USA who is the bad guy.

They musn’t read the details of these stories.

Well, better late than never, I say. We’re going to be vilified around the world, regardless of the outcome. So, why not do some good while we have the time and resources in theater?

A couple of sniper teams ought to do the trick, IMO.

He’s hiding in Iran. Now that his Army has been defeated, don’t expect him to return.

Mookie will pop his head out in the open.. sooner or later. I hope we have something in place for such a moment. He should have been snuffed in Fallujah.

MSM will treat this as it always has.. now if there was a Christian church with decapitated bodies and shallow graves over there... that would rule the 24hrs cycle for months!

Eh? Doesn’t your place of worship have its own torture chamber?

Torturing and killing people in a mosque is fine, just remember to take off your shoes before you go in, because it’s a holy place.

“These people need all the help they can get to be free of the monsters who slaughter them.”

Yet, these same people will continue to call Christians “infidels” as they (Muslims) are slaughtered by their co-religionists. These are also the people who do not protest when Iraqi Christians are murdered for their religious beliefs. Common sense is totally missing in Islam.

They need to be freed from the shackles of Islam and Shari'ia Law.

But were they subjected to the worse torture of all? Panties? Water boarding?
Now that’s really inhumane.

Just goes to prove that when terrorists hide in mosques, it’s time to go in and clean it out.

It is a damn shame they were probably targeted for death, because the worked with the American troops. The liberals will not give a damn because these deaths make the enemy look bad, and all they care about is blaming the ills of the world on the GOP.
