Iraq torture 'worse after Saddam'
We can all feel even more proud of our Government’s plan to set Iraq free and to instill all the wonderful democratic virtues. According to the UN’s chief anti-torture expert, torture in Iraq is probably worse after Saddam than it was before. Most abuses are committed by security forces, militia groups and anti-US insurgents, and bodies found in the Baghdad morgue “often bear signs of severe torture”, including broken bones, missing teeth and wounds caused by acids, cigarettes, nails, electric drills and more.
Good plan, well executed, I think we can agree.

The UN has enough credibility, afterall, to make this decision because they are moral, ethical, and completely unbiased. They worked so hard to follow through with their idle threats to Saddam.
Besides, we all know that when the end goal is important-such as removing a terrorist dictator, the road is paved in peace, happiness and ease…sheesh..give me a break!

Things are likely to improve and help both the Iraqi’s and the involved countries as long as we continue to make the troops out to be utter failures, who are completely inadequate at helping to protect civilians in a foreign and ruthless environment.

And as Christians we ought to know that when a devil is cast out of a man it is likely to return with seven others worse than itself to fill the vacuum.
There was a rash embarking on war with far too little thought given to what was to happen afterwards.
