#1 Doesn't matter. We've lost. I'll make sure of it, if necessary.

#2 HRW has discovered that some Kurds are violent people. Will they move on to investigate whether ravioli is pasta?

#3 You mean the Kurds don't do the old "catch-and-release" with their terrorists? Oh, the horror!

#4 I think the Kurds are still pissed about that whole "gas my villages" beef they had a few years ago. Can't they just move on (.org)?

#5 23 goat buggers dead, good going guys. Let us know where to send the pig skin body bags to.

The report was based on interviews with 158 detainees held by the Asayish

Yup. Ask a Muslim terrorist, shuck we were mistreated, mind if you stone your wife and cut your head off?

#6 HRW, noting that the Kurdish north is an exception to the general Iraqi pattern of insecurity, violence, and atrocity, resolved to correct this imbalance. I don't know how some "human rights" people live with themselves. Lots & lots of cognitive dissonance, I suppose.

#7 The Kurds are still pissed about the 1000+ years of suppression and domination by the arabs. And payback is a bitch.

#8 Some admitted to links with these groups, but this was rare, the report said. The report did not estimate how many detainees may be imprisoned, but a HRW spokesman said it might number in the thousands

sure smells like bullshit. I'd guess it is. Nice agitprop HRW!
