US Military “Commemorates” Its Iraq Massacre. “Tell Them It’s the Sound of Freedom.”

“We gather tonight knowing that this generation of
heroes has made the United States safer and more

(President Barack Obama, State of the Union address,
24th January 2012.)

confirming again his total disregard for human life.
In the words of former USCENTOCOM Commander General
Tommy Franks who led the Iraq invasion in March
2003, “it is not productive to count Iraqi deaths”.

UK armed forces went into Iraq with a written policy that allowed hooding, and with a policy of training interrogators to use hooding, stressing and sleep deprivation to gain intelligence. Iraqi civilians were routinely hooded in up to three sandbags - and even old plastic cement bags. When Baha Mousa died in September 2003, partly as a result of abuse while hooded, common sense dictates that at least at that point those in positions of responsibility within the civil service and military would have acted to change the poli...
