America's Puppet Regime Returns to Torture-Filling Saddam's Shoes

[poe]

Now we learn from Human Rights Watch that the interim US puppet regime of Iyad Allawi is practicing all those Saddamite methods of torture itself on those the regime opposes. We've got reports of people being "routinely" hung by the wrists on meat hooks, shocked on the genitals with electrodes and beaten in torture chambers by people who are actually the very same guys who were working there before in the employ of Saddam.

1. Seymour Hersh today called Allawi, "Saddam lite."

Plus he's a former CIA operative. Nothing more than a puppet government there, never will be a government "of the people" either.
