THE acting director of a Baghdad psychiatric hospital has been arrested on suspicion of supplying al-Qaeda in Iraq with the mentally impaired women who were used to blow up two markets in the city on February 1, killing about 100 people.

Iraqi security forces and US soldiers arrested the man at al-Rashad hospital in east Baghdad on Sunday. They then spent three hours searching his office and removing records.

Sources told The Times the two women bombers had been treated at the hospital in the past.

"They (the security forces) arrested the acting director, accusing him of working with al-Qaeda and recruiting mentally ill women and using them in suicide bombing operations," a hospital official said.

1. Doesn't this detract from their message?

I'm appalled.

2. I reckon it would

It would, if the United States had any moral standing left. But as it is, this report seems pretty sketchy, and more facts are definitely warranted (e.g., what does it mean that the female bombers had treated at that hospital?).

But a country that practices torture of prisoners, creates special courts outside the usual channels of judicial review where there are no apparent rules of procedure, and makes preparations to execute prisoners based on the proceedings in those courts, hardly has the standing to protest the methods used by its adversaries.

3. assuming that any terror attacks are actually done by our enemies.

with the honesty level of the cabal in charge of both parties. I suspect that all terror attacks are psy ops and black ops of our own government and those that actually control it.

4. Well yes. My mind wasn't going in that direction but you are right.

Another reason to object to John McCain, IMO.

5. SMELLS of MKULTRA...and sloppy US Ops

These Neocons are disgusting.
