BN Posted December 4, 2003 US continues to humiliate Iraqis By Lawrence Smallman Sunday 23 November 2003, 16:39 Makka Time, 13:39 GMT US soldiers are now ordered to search even young schoolgirls A student's shoes provoke a US Pictures of US soldiers searching young girls on their way to class have provoked renewed international outrage. Exclusive photos show US-led occupation forces frisking schoolgirls – a move condemned by the girls’ parents and international human rights organisations alike. One father, Abu Muhammad, told Aljazeera.net on Sunday that if he ever hears his daughter has been touched by American soldiers again, he would “not be responsible for the consequences”. “This humiliation has got to end now. I refuse to live like this. I’d rather die and I’ll take a few soldiers with me – and that’s a promise, not a threat.” US reaction CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, is already conducting an investigation and seeking legal advice after previous Aljazeera.net pictures showed troops tying up little girls in their own home.

BN Posted December 4, 2003 US Army Uses Bulldoze Threat to Get Iraqis to Talk An Iraqi house destroyed by US forces in an Iraqi village north of Baghdad (AFP) Thursday, December 04 2003 @ 02:07 PM EST "In a tactic used by Israel in the West Bank and Gaza but new to Iraq, a bulldozer was positioned in front of the house ready to destroy it .." By Andrew Hammond HAWIJA, Iraq (Reuters) - When U.S. soldiers found explosives in the house of Aziz Abdel-Wahhab and his elderly wife during a raid in the Iraqi town of Hawija, they proposed swift and direct punishment -- demolishing the building. "This house is the heart of terrorism and if you're going to harbour terrorism we're going to remove you from the community," said 1st Lieutenant Steve Brignoli, explaining the order to destroy the one-story stone house in a Hawija suburb. "This will be a show of force, to embolden the local authorities." Continued: Palestine Chronicle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BN Posted December 7, 2003 HA, I haven't really been away but just trying to stay clear of some topics. But thanks non the less. This sort of disgusting behavior is nothing new for these americans. This is a previous article I read in April. US Forces Make Iraqis Strip and Walk Naked in Public On 25 April 2003, the newspaper Dagbladet (Norway) published photos of armed US soldiers forcing Iraqi men to walk naked through a park. On the chests of the men had been scrawled an Arabic phrase that translates as "Ali Baba - Thief." A military officer states that the men are thieves, and that this technique will be used again. No word yet from the newly liberated Iraqi people about some of them being summarily found guilty of theft, forced at gunpoint to strip, having a racist phrase written on their bodies, and then made to walk naked in public. No doubt the Arab/Muslim world is impressed by this display of "democracy," "freedom," "due process," and "no cruel or unusual punishment." We wonder if the soldiers will be using this technique on their comrades who stole $13.1 million in Iraq. Or the journalists who looted Iraq's art. Note: There is a more graphic image on the websites. The Memory Hole Dagbladet: If you speak Norweigen Amnesty USA ___________________________________________________________________ Testimony Of An Iraqi Minor Mistreated By US Forces This is a disturbing account of what happens to 'detainees'(even minors) taken from their homes in raids.

Man Of Freedom Posted December 8, 2003 Bari nomad I understand these pictures are disturbing, but you have to take into account that the U.S does not like what it is doing, but as long as they are saving their soldiers from insurgencies they have every right to use heavy handed tactics. The people who were liberated from a tyrant leader are now turning as an enemies to those who liberated them. and it is a major blow to the coalition of the willing. but insurgencies will be defeated and the orinary Iraqi's will understand where it services their interest!

BN Posted December 11, 2003 LOL. Man,where do you come up with this stuff?!? The US military has no excuse for searching female students, bulldozing houses, detaining (without charge) thousands of iraqis, and stripping and displaying suspects in public. Everyday they do this they are making more insurgents and enemies. They(US) are alienating ordinary iraqis. It's a never ending cycle and will only get worse as the US increases these 'heavy handed' tactics against innocent men, women and children.
