Iraqi interior ministry linked to torture and bomb attacks

well, when they stand up, we stand down... oh, wait... that was LAST year...

Iraqi special forces backed by coalition troops raided a government intelligence headquarters on Sunday and uncovered evidence of torture and links to bomb attacks, the British military said.

Troops stormed the local headquarters of Iraqi interior ministry's domestic intelligence agency in the southern port city of Basra, and released more than 37 prisoners being held there.

funny how those flower petals we thought they would be strewing in our path in gratitude for being liberated look a lot like ied's...
