BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. forces have found the bodies of 13 men in a mass grave in Iraq's restive Diyala province northeast of Baghdad, police said on Tuesday, the latest such grisly find in recent months.

The unidentified bodies were found dumped in a hole in the town of Muqdadiya, 90 km (55 miles) northeast of Baghdad. All were handcuffed, had gunshot wounds in the head and showed evidence of being tortured, police said.

The bodies were discovered in an orchard during a U.S.-led operation in the area on Monday, police said.

Despite attacks across Iraq falling by 60 percent since last June, ethnically-mixed Diyala remains a headache for the U.S. and Iraqi forces.

4. Some of them yes of course we are.

The US military will freely admit we've done mass graves in Iraq. In a war zone, you have to. Can't leave dead bodies lying around to rot. During the invasion we either mass-graved or burned the dead bodies.

So yes, some of the mass graves in Iraq will be ours from George W. bUsh's war.

Many are from his daddy's war on Iraq, such as when US troops buried Iraqi troops alive by bulldozing over their trench lines.

And we have our very own mass graves in the good ol' US of A. (I got screeched at the other day from a rightwingnut who asked HOW DARE I accuse the US of having mass graves??!!11!. I told it, "they're called national parks, go visit one". OY. :eyes: )
