I've never been a supporter of the death penalty but those responsible should be shot. After years of telling my friends that being Iraqi was something to be proud of because we love family, children and value our young peoples future, today I'm ashamed to call myself Iraqi.
CBS NEWS SPECIAL
It was a scene that shocked battle-hardened soldiers, captured in photographs obtained by CBS News.
On a daytime patrol in central Baghdad just over than a week ago, a U.S. military advisory team and Iraqi soldiers happened to look over a wall and found something horrific.
"They saw multiple bodies laying on the floor of the facility," Staff Sgt. Mitchell Gibson of the 82nd Airborne Division told CBS News chief foreign correspondent Lara Logan. "They thought they were all dead, so they threw a basketball (to) try and get some attention, and actually one of the kids lifted up their head, tilted it over and just looked and then went back down. And they said, 'oh, they're alive' and so they went into the building."
Inside the building, a government-run orphanage for special needs children, the soldiers found more emaciated little bodies tied to the cribs, CBS News reports exclusively. They had been kept this way for more than a month, according to the soldiers called in to rescue the 24 boys.
"I saw children that you could see literally every bone in their body that were so skinny, they had no energy to move whatsoever, no expression on their face," Staff Sgt. Michael Beal said.
"The kids were tied up, naked, covered in their own waste — feces — and there were three people that were cooking themselves food, but nothing for the kids," Lt. Stephen Duperre said.
It is so desgusting and so horrible that I cried for half an hour when I seen this on the news. Those poor children. the man in charge was selling the food and clothes and leaving these poor boys to die. Even the care takers for the children who are women have no heart. They are savages. I hope with all my heart that they catch these savages and punish them with all the power of the law. This is why I left Iraq and will never return. I want to have at least some happy memories to look at when I am older. God bless the children.
Man, Im still so pissed about this. I swear to god if I was responsible for catching these sickos I would take my time and use some of Saddam's ex-torturers to kill them all...very, very slowly. Everytime I see those images I want to puke.
oh my god no no no no the mesopotamians before 8000 years ago didnot do like that, they respected their people whether what they are andwhat they thats why they the greatest but now it is impossible this cannot be why why why why why people around the world are not doing anything just sitting doing nothing and the crazy arabs what they doing just killing the iraqis why god why?
Sadiq i wish you simply vanish. Whats happening here in Iraq happened in Poland and other countries where the governments failed to keep track of their employees, failed to protect the weak and the volunrables in the society. It is time to change the government, not that it failed, but it lack experience in running the country. Time that Al-Qaida put down their weapons and help their muslim brothers rebuild. Killing never been and never will be the word of god. And those turbin so called holy men. Come out of your cacoons and see what you have done to our Iraq. Damn you all...
you do not tell me simply vanish, you iraqis are disgrace killing and spoiled the reputation of your country and made yourself disgrase among the people around the world even the people around the world they are becoming afriad and taking precausions from you iraqis you clam you better vanish, you iraqis are fools the people around the world are making fun of you.

Calm.
I beg of you not to lower yourself to the level of this parasite. Just disregard its posts. You are to valuable to this site to get entangled in his web of hatred.
you are the parasite respect your words it is better for you do you understand me, do not teach him to hate other peoples posts, and i said it is true about the iraqis and also what (calm) about this speech (Whats happening here in Iraq happened in Poland and other countries where the governments failed to keep track of their employees, failed to protect the weak and the volunrables in the society. It is time to change the government, not that it failed, but it lack experience in running the country. Time that Al-Qaida put down their weapons and help their muslim brothers rebuild. Killing never been and never will be the word of god. And those turbin so called holy men. Come out of your cacoons and see what you have done to our Iraq. Damn you all...) he said it is true i do believe that Mr.calm said 100%, somebody must change this government so the iraqis can live happy and stop them killing each other, because i know there are many iraqis educated and very smart can role mesopotamia in a very very great way and educational, god bless you all.
do not fell ashamed to be iraqi, i know the good iraqis would never do that just have faith in yourself and try to kick out these murderers and spoilers of the mesopotamia, because they should kiss the soil land of mesopotamia and it's greatness have faith in yourself al least the iraqi people are still sacrifising themselves for freedom and i wish for them best.
Dude, you are the most screwed up guy on this forum. Onre minute you are crying for Iraqis and the next minute you are insulting Iraqis. I googled you and know you are an Iraqi so whats your problem? I would have posted more info but the rules of the forum prevent me from divulging personal info about other members. Its time you came out of the closet and admitted the truth. If you do this I will accept your comments but untill then no one will take you seriously.
Who gives the right to anyone to kill and torture???????????? To be religious is to have the fear of God inside you, how can they justify their action. I saw a woman being tortured so she will admit to a killing, that is justice. I saw men been held by their feet and repeatidly whipped with a cane, they were already tortured previously. To be strong is to inflict pain on the weak, to feel strong is to have someone begging for mercy. I am not ashamed for being Iraqi, I am ashamed of what 45 years of baath Party has done to our people, it divided them instead of bringing them together. God bless all those who suffered.
I know everyone will agree that Saddam and his Baathi pigs were brutal and inhumane but Brothers and sisters of Iraq4you, he was a dictator and gave himself these powers. I bet not many of you know that in September 2006 a new bill was submitted to the senate giving the US president the power to order any torture techniques which do not rise to the level of “grave breaches” of the Geneva Conventions. The new bill gives the government the power to use confessions and other testimony derived from such torture as evidence in criminal proceedings.
Now my question to you all is this. If a brutal dictatorship uses violence it is to be expected and is called brutal and inhumane. But when the champions of democracy and freedom hold people indefinitely without trial and use torture to force confessions it is called necessary for National safety. How can there be such a blatant double standard in this day and age? Whats good for the goose is good for the gander. Let us not forget what happened in Abu Ghraib and who's to say it isn't continuing to this day in this and other Iraqi prisons?
Until the worlds only superpower sets the moral example for all to follow how can third world countries run by despotic dictatorships be expected to change their ways? The horrible truth is that just about all the civilized countries in the world use torture but no one talks about it.
i told many times that i am american so stop pissing me off with your silly compliments ok i made my self clear and i do not want to repeat it again what i just typed and this is the last time.
That wasn't a question it was a remark, and if I would ask a question, it wouldn't be directed to you. I never ever and i won't take your opinion with a pinch of salt.
Hi Calm. Saddam was really not human. he always called Iraqis his brothers but he didnt even trust his own family. I hate him with all my heart and soul. Even now when he is dead.
i told many times that i am american so stop pissing me off with your silly compliments ok i made my self clear and i do not want to repeat it again what i just typed and this is the last time.
Now dont go digging yourself deeper into fakery. Your already up to you neck in it. I already told you that I googled you and found your posts on zinda where you advertise yourself as from IRAQ. Now to who are you bullshitting? Zinda or Iraq4you? Take your time and try to come up with an intelligent answer.
