#1 "prisoners were hanged in the first mass execution since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime."

Nice attempt at moral equivalnce: equating duly conveicted terrorists in oopen court to Saddam's "mass executions" of Kurds, etc.

F__king disgusting journos spinning stuff, I am so damned tired of it.

What ever happened to "straight reporting"?

#4 I just got through watching Lilek's video recap/tribute from 9/11. Therefore, my sympathy meter, which has been on the fritz for five years, is assured of malfunctioning for a long time to come.

#8 Some of the small number of prisoners who remained in the jail after the Americans left said they had pleaded to go with their departing captors, rather than be left in the hands of Iraqi guards.

"OK, I guess you can follow us to our new base, but you'll have to bring your own leash. You'll be handcuffed so you'll have to carry it in your teeth." :-)

#9 gorb, when I saw the England's pic at the link, a thought just occurred to me that the commanding officer responsible for the prison may have said: "and keep the terrorist prisoners on leash".
England just interpretted it too literaly.
