Iraqi bound and gagged for protest

[DuctapeFatwa]

US occupation soldiers handcuffed and firmly wrapped masking tape around an Iraqi man's mouth as they arrested him for speaking out against occupation troops.


The arrest was captured on camera by international photojournalists.

Asked on Tuesday why the man had been arrested and put into the back of a Humvee vehicle on Tahrir Square, the commanding officer told Reuters at the scene: "This man has been detained for making anti-coalition statements."

1. I'm surprised they didn't just parade him around Baghdad buck naked!

Oh, I forgot, they do that for 'thieves'.

2. In yesterday's news

it was duct tape. Now it's just masking tape?? OK...guess that makes it a little less fierce and more acceptable...NOT!

3. I wonder what "anti-coalition statements" he made?

GI go home? Death to America?

I hate this crap.
