Here is a link to a story in Der Speigel. It makes harrowing reading but it is a must read if your are American, British or Australian. Read this and weep that we have become what we detested in Saddam Hussien.

Possibly the most telling comment in this article on the torture of innocent Iraqis is this one by an Iraqi tortured by Americans in Abu Graib

In the past, he says, he believed that forgiveness is always better than revenge, but now he is filled with a hatred that he cannot shake off. The worst thing about it, says Hajj Ali, is that he hates himself for hating others.

"How can it be," he asks, "that the victims are not being called as witnesses, that no one wants to hear their version of the story? How can it be that someone like Davis gets only half a year in prison?"

"Davis and the others," he says, "killed our souls."

It seems that it is not Islamists turning Iraqis into suicide bombers, it is the Americans.
