Looks like there will be some more mass graves in Iraq soon

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss! Looks like the new "democracy" in Iraq is going to implement some good old fashion purging and repression. Torture rooms soon to be open again, under new management. Boy, you hear stuff like this, and you know in your gut it was all worth it. :eyes:

"Iraq to Purge Corrupt Officers

BAGHDAD — Iraq's Shiite Muslim leadership, alarmed by a surge in attacks as the new government prepares to take office, plans to crack down on Sunni-led insurgents and purge suspected infiltrators and corrupt officers from the nation's security forces, officials and lawmakers say."

A likely tactic, authorities say, is unleashing well-trained Iraqi commandos in Baghdad and other trouble spots. The special forces units have a reputation for effectiveness and brutality.

The special forces units sport provocative titles — including the Wolf, Scorpion, Tiger and Thunder brigades. Many Sunni Arabs view the squads suspiciously as largely composed of Shiite and Kurdish rivals eager to exact revenge for decades of suppression under Hussein, a Sunni Arab.
