"The Iraqi people are now free. And they do not have to worry about the secret police coming after them in the middle of the night, and they don't have to worry about their husbands and brothers being taken off and shot, or their wives being taken to rape rooms. Those days are over."—Paul Bremer, Administrator, Coalition Provisional Authority, Sept. 2, 2003

"Iraq is free of rape rooms and torture chambers."—President Bush, remarks to 2003 Republican National Committee Presidential Gala, Oct. 8, 2003

"There was an announcement by the Iraqi Governing Council earlier this week about the tribunal that they have set up to hold accountable members of the former regime who were responsible for three decades of brutality and atrocities. … We know about the mass graves and the rape rooms and the torture chambers of Saddam Hussein's regime. … We welcome their decision to move forward on a tribunal to hold people accountable for those atrocities."—Bush Press Secretary Scott McClellan, White House press briefing, Dec. 10, 2003

"One thing is for certain: There won't be any more mass graves and torture rooms and rape rooms."—Bush, press availability in Monterrey, Mexico, Jan. 12, 2004

1. From the blogs they do seem to be unsure about Am.

They do seem to be treated pretty bad for people we are trying to show how 'great' we are.I wonder if the army were told anything about these people before they were sent over to that country to "save" them?What a mess we have made.

2. Given these assurances by our selected "leaders," I am surprised

that more Iraqis aren't celebrating their liberation and throwing roses at the feet of our troops. I know that I'm still feeling that warm and cozy feeling about our "liberation" of these people. How 'bout you? :eyes:
