QuoteReports from Iraq indicate that torture ?is totally out of hand,? he said. ?The situation is so bad many people say it is worse than it has been in the times of Saddam Hussein.?

Nowak added, ?That means something, because the torture methods applied under Saddam Hussein were the worst you could imagine.?

Some allegations of torture were undoubtedly credible, with government forces among the perpetrators, he said, citing ?very serious allegations of torture within the official Iraqi detention centers.?

?You have terrorist groups, you have the military, you have police, you have these militias. There are so many people who are actually abducted, seriously tortured and finally killed,? Nowak told reporters at the U.N.?s European headquarters.

?It?s not just torture by the government. There are much more brutal methods of torture you?ll find by private militias,? he said.

So again Bush lied.  There is absolutely no intention of making this a democracy....oh, wait...Bush is dismantling our democracy so he can torture without penalty and spy on people and lock them up with out them knowing charges or having attorneys...guess Bush is at least patterning Iraq after the US he is creating.

So what was the reason we went to Iraq?

Would your definition of a Christian man Bush claims to be allow this torture under his watch?

What are our obligations to this situation as a nation that invaded Iraq illegally?

What do you see the future of Iraq to be?
