I wonder what page this was on in the Washington Post. This is it….the complete write up. The torture and death is ongoing at an alarming rate in Iraq. Our troops are still dying there. (72 so far this month) Iraqi citizens are being killed in huge numbers. Yet, the Republicans have been successful in taking it off the news, of the front page. Afterall, keeping their cushy seats in congress is much more important than our kids dying for NO REASON. Hell, it isn’t their kids….so no biggie. Keep your eye on the ball people……….

BAGHDAD, Iraq — The bodies of 40 men who were shot and had their hands and feet bound have been found in the capital over the past 24 hours, police said Thursday.

All the victims showed signs of torture, police Lt. Thayer Mahmoud said. They were dumped in several neighborhoods in both eastern and western Baghdad, he said.

The top U.S. military spokesman in Iraq, Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell, on Wednesday said murders and executions are currently the main cause of civilian deaths in Baghdad.

Much of the violence has been attributed to death squads, many of which are thought to be offshoots of mainly Shiite militias.
