Let me do this FOX NEWS style:
Good News from Iraq! The Iraqis are Taking Over the Torturing!
Iraq police accused of torture
By Richard Galpin BBC News, Baghdad
Iraq's new police force is facing mounting allegations of systematic abuse and torture of people in detention, as well as allegations of extra-judicial killings. The minority Sunni community in particular claims it is being targeted by the Shia-dominated police force.
The traumatised face of Dhai Adnan Saleh stares from the podium at the journalists and cameramen in front of him at a hastily convened news conference in Baghdad.
Surrounded by a forest of microphones, this tall, thin, awkward man begins mumbling a statement from notes scribbled on a sheet of paper.
No-one can hear him.
He tries to compose himself and starts again.
"We were left from 5.30 that evening inside a kind of container that had no air vents. After one hour, we lost consciousness and some people began to die, the others were dead by one o'clock in the morning"- Dhai Adnan Saleh, Iraqi Sunni.
This time, he describes the horror of the past 24 hours from memory - a memory which is certain to haunt him for the rest of his life... http://tinyurl.com/8w2m2
