BAGHDAD, March 12 (Reuters) - Iraqi Interior Minister Bayan Jabor on Sunday accused a group of private Iraqi security guards who were abducted last week of not doing enough to resist the kidnappers.

"People dressed in camouflage uniforms took (the security guards) like sheep," said Jabor.

"If they cannot defend themselves, who will do so?"

Jabor said the interior ministry was planning to change uniforms to distinguish its forces from those of the army and avoid any confusion.

1. Talk about blaming the victim!

So if they're found dead, will he still say scornful things about them?

2. The abductors were dressed to look like part of the regime in power.

And now this clown is saying they should have resisted? So, exactly what or who is how or whatever is there to let people know when the thugs who come a callin' are really from the government (who probably does its fair share of murders) or whatever insurgent group is in the neighborhood at that particular time?

That was just stupid.
