ANOTHER Mass grave discovered in Iraq
BAGHDAD -- Iraqi security forces discovered a mass grave containing the badly decomposed remains of as many as 100 people in Diyala province, U.S. and Iraqi officials said today.
Police said the Iraqi forces were conducting a routine raid Friday when they found the grave concealed in an orchard near the town of Khalis, about 50 miles northeast of Baghdad.
"The skeletal remains appear to have
More.. been in the grave for a long time, and we have not yet determined who might be responsible for their death and burial," Maj. Winfield Danielson, a U.S. military spokesman, said by e-mail.
U.S. and Iraqi investigators believe hundreds of thousands of people were killed and buried in similar graves under Saddam Hussein. But police said today they suspect this grave was more recent.
Diyala has been plagued by sectarian fighting since the U.S.-led invasion that resulted in Hussein's overthrow in 2003, and numerous communal graves have been discovered on the outskirts of its cities and villages.
Sunni Arab insurgents in 2006 declared the province the center of their self-styled caliphate, and hundreds of people working with the U.S. and Iraqi authorities were reported kidnapped or killed.
A series of U.S.-led offensives has driven insurgents from many of their Diyala sanctuaries in the last year, but attacks persist.
Police said five people were killed when two roadside bombs exploded minutes apart this morning along a well-traveled route through Wajihiyah, about 15 miles east of Baqubah, the Diyala provincial capital.
The first blast hit a civilian car, killing a woman and her two children, and injuring her husband and another relative, police said.
The second bomb exploded near a passing minibus, killing two people and injuring eight others, they said.

"lasrever" is a BIG-TIME LIBERAL...probably has the sickle & hammer tatooed on his LABIA!!!! *_*!!
Also, ANTI-AMERICANs like "lasrever" think that the Abu Ghraib incident and WATER-BOARDING terrorists is shockingly dreadful. However a DICTATOR gassing KURDS, executing the citizenry by the hundreds of thousands and allowing his son (UDAY) to RAPE prepubescent girls is just fine and dandy...according to "lasrever" and his ilk.

i'm against all torture but the main people i'm concerned about -- when torture is used -- are the civilians that are also being imprisoned and tortured
i can't think of a greater crime than to torture or execute innocent persons -- such as the guy in this documentary who the Pentagon exonerated post-mortem

Your thirst for blood causes you to ignore that people like him are also being tortured and that war crimes are being committed against not only terrorists/combatants but regular people over there.

only psychotics pretending to be patriotic have a problem with human rights
