My dad told me about this over the weekend. He said the footage made him embarrassed to be an Iraqi. I wonder now if he understood that the lynching victim was a failed suicide bomber. In my opinion they should not have killed him because they could have gained valuable intelligence from him.
'Iraqi police who appeared to lynch a failed suicide bomber in a beating broadcast by a satellite television station are to face human rights charges, the government said on Saturday.
Graphic pictures of the incident, which occurred on February 28, 2007 at the height of Iraq's sectarian clashes when security forces were being targeted daily, have been shown after every news bulletin since Thursday evening.
The violent footage on Sharqiya television showed police officers stamping on the foiled bomber's head and kicking his body. They then danced and fired weapons in celebration.
A statement from the interior ministry, responsible for the police, said an inquiry recommending prosecutions had been approved and "anyone involved in the violation of human rights will be sent to court to receive proper punishment."
"The (internal) investigation committee presented the results of their work to the minister himself and he approved it," it said.'

It is understandable that the police would do such things at the height of the violence, when they were being targetted daily.
But although understandable, it is wrong. A captured enemy should be treated like a prisoner of war, or as a criminal who has to be tried. The police should always behave correctly, especially when the terrorists (or criminals) do not. So your father is right from the point of view of law and order.
Dolly, I’m having trouble hearing your voice through your veil. Your self righteous murderous piety is nauseating.
If he was suicidal,they were just helping the poor fella. Is assisted suicide a crime in Iraq?

Wonder what God meant when he told Isaiah to name his son: Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz?
"Wonder what God meant"
Man wrote the Torah. You worship the words of man. You are alien to God.
It’s really sad to see a man so drunk with foolish pride… false pride in fact. Look while he massages his false ego with the ethos of racial (Arab) supremacy. He is desperate and clinging to the literal reality of a book, a book written by men in Arabic, long ago. So close to America, yet so far from God. What a shame.
ha? I am pretty sure neither one of us has any idea what you are saying.
Do you believe the Koran is the literal word of God?
That the Iraqi police can no longer act with impunity is just another example of the positive changes brought about by the LIBERATION of Iraqis from Saddam.

Jews and Arabs both believe their books were written by God. Jews and Arabs both believe they’re “chosen.” Zionists and Arab Jarab are both nauseating.
