US says Iraq to have credible investigation on torture allegations

The same Iraqi government whose militia are torturing prisoners?

for SC.... I see a pattern forming.

Why on earth would the Iraqis torturing Iraqis effect US policy toward the country? Better yet, how could it? I mean what with the fact that we torture Iraqis and other non-Americans in Iraq and Cuba and Afghanistan and Romania and...Poland, how can anyone actually think that we have any right to be upset with the Iraqis and let it affect our policy toward the country? Especially when our policy seems to be 1) arrest bunches of people and clear them later, 2) torture them if you think they may possibly know anything, 3) chalk up all deaths (military and civilian) to helping Iraq live in a free, democratic society.

That'd be kind of funny if the Iraqi's did a credible investigation of the torture in their country and we can't mention to agree on an investigation most of the time.

But alas, the investigation will be just as "credible" as the ones that we're doing into Katrina, pre-war intelligence, torture, etc. And I would find it much more acceptable from Iraq. Not the torture, a crooked investigation.
