More info on the Kenyan drivers:

Southern Iraq :: Tim Franks :: 1619GMT

Two Kenyan lorry drivers who had been held captive by Iraqi soldiers for ten days have been released. They were rescued by British soldiers in the town of al Zubayr in southern Iraq. The western edge of al Zubayr is now under British control.

After a tip-off, members of the 1st Battalion of the Blackwatch along with four tanks, stormed into the school where the two men were held. The soldiers found no one other than the two men.

[editDaily Nation More on rescue including interview with the drivers]

U.S. Body Reveals "Torture Hospital" Secrets

Front Page Magazine
At least one of the bodies of the four American soldiers discovered in a shallow grave was "brutalized and mutilated," Pentagon sources revealed yesterday. The corpses were unearthed in the vicinity of the "hospital" at Nasiriyah where U.S. Marines found evidence that the Iraqis had operated a torture chamber.

^^^^I hope the soldier was dead long before the little ******* got to him

I'll put this one in with the SCUDs and the chemical factory. Have a look at the article and who published it, then have a look at their source.

Sleepy you could just link the NYpost. Their articles are very funny.

 

[Sleepy]

You dont like the New York Post?

 

[Custor]

High on rhetoric low on details.

 

[Sleepy]

Nobody else is picking up on this story so it may be dodgy. However I have seen footage of a hospital used by Iraqi forces in which captured US soldiers possessions were found. In another room was a lorry battery.

During todays pentagon briefing the fact that US soldiers may be subject again to torture was mentioned by Gen Myers

Yep, they have a policy now where they will do this, due to what happened this afternoon, where Iraqi soldiers in plain clothes opened fire on US Troops and Iraqi civilians.
