Awesome!

From the BBC:

"I've never seen such a situation like this during the past two years in Baghdad, this is the worst.

"I saw signs of physical abuse by brutal beating, one or two detainees were paralysed and some had their skin peeled off various parts of their bodies."

[...]

"In order to search for a terrorist, they used to detain hundreds of innocent people and torture them brutally."


A US soldier who carried out the raid said: "It's not what we expected at all, we were looking for a 15-year-old boy."

But the BBC's correspondent says the discovery will be embarrassing for the US military, which has been training Iraq's security services.

I can't see how. At long last, all that training is taking hold! Truly, we're turning the corner.
