Bound corpses found near firing range in Iraq

[Barrett808]

Baghdad - The bodies of 20 people, bound and shot in the head, have been found on a military firing range in the eastern suburbs of Baghdad, police said on Sunday.

The identities of the victims were unclear and the bodies appeared to have been there some time, one police source said. They were found on Friday and were now in a Baghdad morgue, another police officer said.

Such finds have become a grim routine of the violence in Iraq. In the couple of months since a Shi'ite-led government was formed, more than 850 people have been killed, fuelling fears that the nation could pitch into civil war.

7. Sounds more like infiltrators in the Iraqi military killed Iraqis

Doesn't smell like a Negroponte-style killing to me.


Or, am I reading this wrong?

8. Although they were all clad in Abu Ghraib prison attire,

Donald Rumsfeld denies any american involvement....

A military firing range and no one bothered to use it for some time...kinda fishy to me. It is strange that with the Downing
Street minutes papers about to hit the shit fan, atrocities are starting to surface and top-ranking financiers are captured.

"BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The bodies of 20 men were found buried southeast of Baghdad, Iraqi police said Sunday, the latest in a series of such discoveries.

All 20 had gunshot wounds, and some showed signs of torture, police said.

The men were found Friday in Nahrawain, a mixed area of Sunnis and Shiites 16 miles (25 kilometers) from the capital, police said.

The men have not been identified, and it's unclear when they died. Police said the bodies were partially decomposed.

All were blindfolded, with their hands bound, and they appeared to have been tortured before being shot in the head, police said."

Why isn't the good news reported?
