BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi security forces have found more than 100 bodies in two mass graves, military officials said on Sunday.

Fifty bodies were found in a mass grave in central Iraq on Sunday, a military source in the area said, and another team said it had discovered more than 50 bodies in a grave south of Baghdad on April 17.

The grave found on Sunday was in the village of al-Guba, 80 km north of Baghdad, in the troubled Diyala province, where al Qaeda Sunni Arab militants have regrouped after being driven out of other parts of the country.

1. Thank you for keeping us reminded of these mass graves

To me every body thats found lifes blood covers bushco's hands, Miles deep. These crimes will not go unpunished either as it seems today they will. We're going to win this one and this win I dream of will be for the survivors of bushco's illegal and ill advised ann just plain assed wrong war on innocent people of Iraq. A proud people they are and I stand with them.

2. These 'so called' mass graves that continue to be found are

disconcerting. You never hear who killed these people, who buried them or who actually discovered the grave. Was it maybe the result of a battle and the bodies had to be buried quickly? Did Blackwater kill innocent people again and just bulldoze them into the ground? Was it Al Queda committing an atrocity? Are these 'mass graves' something that is common knowledge in Iraq and they are found at a time that is politically expedient or advantageous? :dem:
