Iraq police find 32 bodies of security forces Mon Apr 24, 2:15 PM ET

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Thirty-two bodies of Iraqi police and security forces recruits were discovered in two areas of Baghdad on Monday, Interior Ministry sources said.

All 32 were from the town of Ramadi in the insurgent heartland of Anbar province, which is fiercely opposed to the government, the sources said.

One group of 17 were kidnapped and then shot dead after they signed up for the police force one week ago. They were found in the Baghdady district of the capital.

The other 15 were found bullet-riddled in two cars in Abu Ghraib, on the western edge of Baghdad.

U.S. officials say the al Qaeda leader in Iraq Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has been focusing on bombing and shooting Iraqi security forces, who are charged with eventually taking over security and enabling American troops to head home.

4. Oh that al-Zarqawi is such a scamp.

Only the most seriously insane or the biggest of liars will try to maintain that this is not a civil war.

5. this is grotesque.

Everyday I'm seeing reports like this, sometimes several a day.

The only reason these people are taking jobs is so they and their familys don't starve.

We have not secured iraq.

How can anyone look at these daily news reports of tens of bodies discovered, and believe there is ANY stability in iraq.

The reprocussions of the Bush war is likely going to go into the millions, after factors like starvation, dying from lack of medical facilities etc. for curable illnesses, and the tons of bodies they keep finding, factor in.
