The interim Prime Minister of Iraq, Iyad Allawi, executed a number of detainees at a Baghdad police station, shortly
before the American-led occupation handed over power to the new Iraqi administration, reports said Saturday.

Iyad Allawi, the new Prime Minister of Iraq, pulled a pistol and executed as many as six suspected insurgents at a Baghdad police station,
just days before Washington handed control of the country to his interim government, according to two people who allege they witnessed the killings. http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/07/16/1089694568757.html?oneclick=trueHowever, this article from Newsweek makes it appear that Allawi is denying that he shot 6 people. But he does not. He simply states that he did not shoot these Iraqis

U.S. officials in Washington tell Newsweek they've heard the amputation
story but have no details. White House officials dismiss it as "urban legend."
The Australian newspaper The Age reported last week that two anonymous
witnesses saw Allawi shoot seven suspected insurgents as his American
bodyguards looked on.
Asked by Newsweek if he had killed anyone since taking office Allawi chuckled and said, "This is a big lie, this is not true, I deny it categorically, No. 1. No. 2, we will spare no effort to secure our people."

Allawi is not denying the allegations that he murdered 6 Iraqi citizens citizens in cold blood by shooting them in the head. All he is saying is that he did not do this after he took office. Do you see?
Paraphrased: "Ha Ha, no, I didn't shoot them after I was installed into power. Just don't ask me if I shot them before I was installed into power. And we will do anything, no matter how immoral, to achieve our goal."
The Bu$h administration, and their "cabin boy" US RW media, are as diabolical and corrupt as the government and press of the Third Reich.
