Life in Hell

How long could you deal with this*. Really? Because it's being done to keep you safe.

...

"My husband, Khalil, was killed during the US invasion in 2003 when he drove through a closed road and soldiers shot him dead.

"I live in Haifa Street, one of the most dangerous places to live in Baghdad today. The area is infamous for its huge number of insurgents. This is why Iraqi and US soldiers have increased their activity in the area, constantly raiding homes and arresting men for interrogation.

"Last month, they arrested my 23-year-old brother Fae'ek, who lives with me. He is a pharmacy student but nonetheless they took him and kept him in prison for more than a week - even after knowing he was innocent. He returned with signs of torture on his body and was crying like a baby because of the pain.

...


Now go watch this**.

So, how's that square with what Dick 'Dick' Cheney said to Wolfie yesterday?

... Bottom line is that we've had enormous successes, and we will continue to have enormous successes.


We've created Hell on Earth for these people. Ever wonder why some of them will give their lives to kill us?
