Ironically, I've seen some reports on TV a few months ago of people giving their opinion about the occupation. One of them said something like this (refering to arrests made by the army - and which you won't see on CNN): Guy: "With Saddam, at least he knocked on the door before taking away our family members. Now with the Americans, they don't even knock. They storm our houses at night and take them out to places we don't even know. I think that's a complete lack of respect." (saw @ Radio-Canada) That last sentence kind of made me smile, although the situation isn't funny at all. Ever since the coalition stepped in Iraq, they arrested whoever they want for any reason. Of course, they would say they're linked to either Saddam or terrorists, but late reports show us most of them had nothing to do with it. My question is this: how are they more free now? I might even add the tortures US military used on prisonners in prisons like Abu Ghraib. Please don't say they only individuals were the problem, as people like Rumsfeld or chiefs at the US defense department were linked to the scandal. http://sf.indymedia.org/news/2004/08/1702022.php
