BAGHDAD -- Hard-line Shiite militias in Baghdad have issued a blanket death sentence for homosexuals, lesbians, prostitutes, liberal professors and booksellers.

Ali Hili, who ran a gay nightclub in Baghdad but fled to Britain this year after receiving death threats, told The Times of London he knows of more than 40 men killed in recent months.

Hili claims Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the most revered spiritual figure in Iraq, provoked the slayings by saying on his Web site in April last year that homosexuals should be killed in the "worst, most severe way."

"We could never envisage this happening when Saddam (Hussein) was overthrown," the 33-year-old Hili said. "I had no love for the former president, but his regime never persecuted the gay community."

Freedom on the march!

Yay for democracy!

3. And things are GREAT in Basra: 1 person murdered per hour.

ne person is being assassinated in Basra every hour as order in Iraq's second city disintegrates, according to an Iraqi Defence Ministry official.

The number of killings is now at a level close to that of Baghdad and marks the failure of the British Army's 3-year-old attempt to quell violence in Basra.

Police no longer dare go where a murder has taken place because they are frightened of being attacked. Basra Governor Mohammed al-Waili is trying to sack the city police chief, claiming that the police have not carried out a single investigation into hundreds of recent assassinations.

The collapse of Government authority is increasing at every level as political leaders in Baghdad fail to form a Cabinet after parliamentary elections on December 15.

But yet the Iraqi security forces are standing up and US soldiers are dying at 3/day, too.


How far ahead is that next "corner"?

7. Saddam didn't persecute the gay community??

That is sooo pre-9/11.

Get with the times, Saddam. Gawd. Welcome to GWB's America.

We are the infidels. Didn't Rummy give you the heads up when he shook your hand in the 80's?
