Riverbend has put up this post on the torture house that was "uncovered" in Jadriya.
For over a year corpses have been turning up all over Baghdad. Corpses of people who are taken from their homes in the middle of the night (lately they've been more brazen- they just do everything in the light of day), and turn up dead somewhere. That isn't as disturbing as the reports about the bodies- the one I can't get out of my head is that many of the corpses are found with holes in the skull left by an electric drill.
We've lost over 2,100 American lives and spent hundreds of billions of dollars - money that could have gone into our health care or education systems, or to helping the hurricane ravaged South or to equipping and training first responders - to put in power a bunch of torturing thugs. And of course torture isn't the only way these people deal with dissent or exact retribution for personal disputes or vendettas.
