Nouri al-Maliki operates his own torture squad
This news is disconcerting:
Iraqi security forces controlled directly by Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki continue to hold and to torture detainees in secret jails despite his vows last year to end such practices, according to a statement from Human Rights Watch released Tuesday.
It's going to be difficult for Iraq to emerge as a true democracy if its Prime Minister operates his own torture squad.
