#1 Is there any breakdown on who is getting tortured and murdered? Is this torture for information, revenge, or pleasure?

#2 "Khamenei, echoing President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, called on the 145,000 U.S. troops to leave Iraq: Most problems in Iraq will be removed with the departure of occupiers. So we wish for their immediate evacuation, state media quoted him as saying."

and of course Iranians will not be considered occupiers when the stroll on in and steal this fledgling democracy that is Iraq. Nope no occupiers here just us fun loving, sharia living Jihadis...

#3 I wonder how many of the killed just happened to be Iranian spies?

I am also suspicious of the torture element. When you have an effort at ethnic cleansing in full swing, torture is usually less, as opposed to just killing. Torture takes time, time that could be used in driving out the hated minority.

But revenge, on the other hand, is far more quality than quantity. So I suspect that in the vast majority of the cases, it is targetted killing, not just sectarian.

#4 Khameini: Most problems in Iraq will be removed with the departure of occupiers.

Yeah, I suppose we'd see a lot of the "problems" rush home to Iran if we marched our troops out of Iraq and into Qom.
