Tortured Democrats
By Mona CharenIt didn't get much attention, but in mid-December, U.S. forces in Iraq discovered an al Qaeda torture center north of Baghdad. Muqdadiya is about 60 miles north of the capital. American soldiers found a blood-spattered room where chains still hung on the gory walls. A metal bed frame was still connected to an electric shock generator. The Americans also found bloody knives and swords. Outside, the bodies of 26 people were buried in common graves. That al Qaeda has made rape, torture and murder its calling card in Iraq is not news. Michael Yon (michaelyon-online.com), among others, has reported the atrocities committed by al Qaeda in Iraq, and even the major media have at last come to acknowledge that Sunni leaders disgusted by atrocities they witnessed have teamed up with Americans to defeat al Qaeda. Iraqi locals pointed the U.S. patrol to the torture house in Muqdadiya. Posted by: Fred 2007-12-27 |
