Maliki's Iraq: Rape, executions and torture (saddam would be proud of him)
Maliki's Iraq: Rape, executions and torture
Iraq is wracked by detentions, torture, and executions, and fingers are pointing at Prime Minister Maliki.
Baghdad - Heba al-Shamary (name changed for security reasons) was released last week from an Iraqi prison where she spent the last four years.
"I was tortured and raped repeatedly by the Iraqi security forces," she told Al Jazeera. "I want to tell the world what I and other Iraqi women in prison have had to go through these last years. It has been a hell."
Heba was charged with terrorism, a fate faced by many Iraqis who are detained by security forces.
"I now want to explain to people what is occurring in the prisons that (Prime Minister Nouri al-) Maliki and his gangs are running," Heba added. "I was raped over and over again, I was kicked and beaten and insulted and spit upon."
Heba's story, horrific as it is, unfortunately is but one example of what a recent report from Amnesty International refers to as "a grim cycle of human rights abuses" in Iraq today.

Remember all those RW'ers saying how were saving iraq and liberating them? Are they ready to pony up more of their money to go back and do the same thing - or was that just an excuse all along to feed the military industrial complex?
