US Troops Discover 173 Abused Detainees In Iraq Basement

All I have in my basement is old furniture and boxes of clothes that no longer fit.

Iraq's Government said today that it is shocked by the discovery of 173 prisoners in the basment of a Interior Ministry building in Baghdad, many of them malnourished and showing obvious signs of torture. Many had been severely beaten, some were paralysed and others had skin peeling off their bodies. Okay, I agree, those are signs of torture. Especially the whole skin peeling off the body thing. I don't think that happens naturally, unless you're a snake. Maybe these Iraqi's were reptilian. Someone's going to blame America for this.

US officials have denied any responsibility for a newly revealed prisoner abuse scandal. Isn't it sad that we as a country have to actually say:
" Hey, it wasn't us torturing Iraqi prisoners this time."
But seriously, if Iraqis are torturing Iraqis how are we supposed to know we shouldn't? Maybe it's part of the culture. Americans are always being accused of being unsympathetic towards foreign cultures. Next time I run into an Iraqi maybe I should behead him.
