Operation Iraqi Freedom rings hollow now

WHAT more do we expect the Iraqis to endure under the occupation? Thousands have been jailed and held without formal charge or visits from families and lawyers.

Some of these are minors who were taken prisoner simply for breaking the curfew imposed by the coalition forces. Amnesty International has listed over 80 cases of boys as young as 11 being jailed.

The recent photos graphically depict the psychological and sexual torture of Iraqi civilians. This practice is barbaric and can only add to the resentment of Iraqis towards the occupation.
