New Iraqi government still using Saddam-era tactics.

"evidence that suspects had been subject to burning, strangulation, sexual abuse, hanging by the arms, the breaking of limbs and - in one case - the use of an electric drill for a knee-capping"

Worrying. I read the original Observer piece today. It's pretty grim.

Grim is the right word. This is deeply depressing.

On the same page as that article:

"President Bush knows the buck for any Iraq failure stops with him."

Oh, I do hope so. I really do.

There was an item on the CNN website that caught my eye. This is not a direct quote.

Iraq's new ambassador to the UN has complained to US officials after a close relative and dragged out into the street and suffered gunshot wounds.

Yup. See my previous post. :(
