Iraq Leader Promises Insurgency Crackdown

[Sagan]

(Now, the interesting thing about this is that the story's name was changed from something along the lines of "Iraqi Prime Minister offers amnesty to insurgents" to this current title. If you read the article, however, you will see the stuff about an amnesty. So, my question is: Amnesty? For "terrahists"? )

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi interim President Ghazi al-Yawer threatened Monday to use a "very sharp sword" to fight insurgents threatening the security of the country, a day after three U.S. soldiers died in attacks north of Baghdad.

Also Monday, France and Iraq (news - web sites) restored diplomatic relations that were severed before the Gulf War (news - web sites) 13 years ago.

Al-Yawer spoke two weeks after the United States handed sovereignty over to an interim Iraqi government. The handover, however, has not quelled the violence that has wracked the country since the fall of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s regime nearly 15 months ago.


Foreign and local insurgents have launched numerous attacks in Iraq in an effort to force coalition forces to leave and to thwart the country's postwar reconstruction. The attacks have killed scores of U.S. troops and hundreds of Iraqi civilians.

2. In other words, the Torture Chambers and Rape Rooms NEVER closed!

I though at least that Imperial Amerika would close them for a short time...until the cameras were off.

But Imperial Amerika is a Torturer's Nation and I shouldn't have been (but was anyway) surprised that Imperial Sturmtruppen were "following orders" like their spiritual antecedents.
