Body Of Another Victim Of Police Torture, Murder Found
The RAB-Iraqi division “police shock forces” raided the home of Sayf Sulayman ad-Dulaymi near the al-‘Asharah al-Mubashsharin Mosque in Baghdad’s al-‘Amil neighborhood and arrested him after a fight broke out between he and one of the officers in the puppet police detail on Thursday, 21 July 2005. Two days later, on Saturday, 23 July, his body, with clear signs of torture, was found tossed in a garbage dump.
Ah, it's just like old times

Relatives of the victim confirmed that the so-called police who stormed his home were in fact looking for ad-Dulaymi’s brother.
"Police, Search warrent! Ok, Sayf, where's yur brudder?"
"He ain't here you dirty infidel puppet....say, is that a 9mm?"
When one of the officers tried to barge shamelessly into a bedroom in the house without asking permission, the victim blocked his way, saying that there were women in the room.
"Keep yur grubby hands off our wimmin folk!"
A fight broke out between them and the puppet police threatened that they would kill the man.
"Only way you'll get in there is over my dead body!"
"Ok"
He was then arrested and taken away to an unknown destination, where he confessed and lead police to a hidden arms cache at 2am, with his body found two days later.
Must have gotten caught in one of them crossfire thingee's
In a statement, a copy of which was obtained by Mafkarat al-Islam, the Board of Muslim ‘Ulama’ [Scholars], the highest Sunni Muslim religious authority in occupied Iraq, whose words must never be questioned noted that the vicious police murder took place in the context of a pattern of criminal abduction, arrest, and torture being carried out by a bunch of Arabs from somewhere else the security apparatus of the puppet regime, with the blessings of the occupation forces, against innocent terrorists Iraqi citizens who refuse to lay down their arms and stop killing people sell out their religion and their country.
It's a start..

#37  "Anybody outside your narrow opinions is a leftist."
We're not talking about just anybody--you asked us all to consider you personally, and if it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, etc. etc.
In this war that we fight, the Democrats and Liberals (almost all of whom hold views that are strongly Leftist like Hillary, Howard Dean, Al Gore, Kerry, etc.) have joined common cause with Islamist terrorists.
If some us see you as one of the bad guys, well...so be it.

#36  Mike, you admitted you bait Frank. He doesn't tolerate that kind of thing well. From anybody, not just you. And there have been times when I've told Frank to back off, in other cases. He didn't like it much, I'm afraid. But he seems to like me well enough now, and he's never attacked me for no reason.

BTW, have a good vacation, Frank! When you trade in the beer for an occasional iced tea, think of me. ;-)

Have a nice one! :-)

#32  "The fact is, though, that you all tolerate and participate in pack-dog attacks on anyone who challenges your narrow opinions."
MS, you really must not be very bright.
I don't consider my opinions or that of the majority here "narrow" in the least; in point of fact, your POV is the one I consider narrow and wrong.
Your view is the Leftist/Old Media/MSM view, which is based on half-truths and out-right lies.
The view here at RB (for the most part) is that of truths, facts and informed opinions.
If we we went to DU, our comments would sound like yours do here and we'd get banned.
But we don't go to DU--we come here.
Maybe you should consider doing the reverse.
Trying to browbeat us into seeing the "beauty" of your Leftist position or worse, to make a personal appeal because you want some sympathy is completely misplaced and should be more cause for censure than for pity.
Most of us are concerned with winning this war, not being blown up by IslamoFacists, and preserving the values that made this nation great not with bringing down the Bush Administration and regaining political power.

#31  Trailing Wife, do you have any comments for Frank G. before he leaves?
Posted by: Mike Sylwester   2005-07-28 23:44  

#30  FWIW - Jack Rubenstein and I are not even close to being the same poster. Fred and the mods can verify that. Paranoia runs deep. I'll be off fishing, hiking in the Sierras, and laying on the sandy shore of Lake Tahoe for a week +, Mike, without, I assume, net access. Let's see how many voices and imaginary antagonists you hear. You've already lost 3-4 supporters today with your admission. Nice work :-)

I may be on in the AM, just so you don't think I'm breaking my promise. Make some friends, huh?

#29  The moderators tolerate that kind of behavior all day every day and then kick off someone like Aris for being "foul and abusive." That's what Rantburg is all about.

#28  Every time anyone challenges your narrow opinions, .com attacks him as an attention whore, as someone who posts too much, who is ALL ABOUT MEEEEE. You have never remarked about that once.

#27  Trailing Wife, every time I appear here, I am harrassed by Frank G (Jack Rubenstein). You have never even remarked about that once.

#26  Intelligent challenges find themselves argued on the merits... if the challenger consistently avoids baiting and egregious insult. I've argued against the majority opinion on subjects within my own particular expertise, and explained upon what basis my arguments rested. And while there have been those who did not at all like what I had to say, I never felt the object of a pack attack. But this is not a salon, and a lot of the guys have no patience with coup counting, when they're trying to figure out what's going on out there.

#19  When I do it my way, I get to watch...suffer gigantic snit-fits.

Mr. Sylwester, your post reveals a very childish nastiness, or the cavalier attitude of a psychopath, to whom others exist only for his amusement. I am very disappointed, because I've defended you, too. This site, like the American polity, needs a loyal opposition to provide intelligent balance to our discussions. While the snarkiness is fun, that isn't the real point of this site, as well you know.

Get over yourself and grow up. Or, please, go to hell.

#18  Several, Pappy. I've been hoping for a serious, well informed regular to balance out the more ranting sides of RB, so we don't drink the kool aid ourselves.

But Mike S. definitely has shown that he's not able or willing to play that role. And that's a shame - because the next 5-10 years are going to present us with some serious, tough decisions and tradeoffs to make. Would be nice - and actually, is important - to talk some of that through, if we can. But the Mike S.'s and our troll yesterday and Boris (if the latter aren't the same) don't begin to rise to the level needed for that.

Actually, MS, you do it your way because it doesn't require any intellect or wit. So I guess you have to do it that way.

Posted by: Jack Rubenstein   2005-07-28 20:21  

#13  Mike,

I don’t really have the time to get into some post-war back and forth discussion with you. But, a few observations:
You incite and inflame with your postings and your comments here at RB, and you are sentient enough to know that you are doing that.

You really don’t seem to have any reasoned counter-point views or information to offer. For awhile, I thought that an attempt to provide a counter-point is what you were trying to do (i.e., offer alternate opinions or information being overlooked), but several of your screeds went so far over the line that even I couldn’t rationalize a socially acceptable basis for your posting -- and I have a fair amount of tolerance and a pretty good imagination.
So, my conclusion is that you are so arrogant and self-confident in your intelligence that you are priding yourself on “toying” with the posters at RB, and see each offense taken to your postings as a self-appointed affirmation of your own self-identified smartness and smug superiority.

In other words: You’re an insecure loser, trying to feel big. Prove me wrong, please (so I can salvage some of my tolerance and imagination), by explaining what useful purpose you intend with your postings.
