Why does the military *always* believe that when they uncover a torture prison or *something* in Iraq...?

Question

They pin it on Al-Qaeda?

Doesn't anyone understand that any terrorist group in Iraq NOW (as opposed to none of them being there BEFORE we invaded), is just a minor player in this ongoing struggle between the Shiites and the Sunnis?

98% of all the torture prisons they've uncovered in the last 4 years (minus Abu Ghraib and Basra) have been directly linked to Shiite death squads.

So they find 42 Iraqi prisoners all tied up and tortured for months, and they claim it's Al-Qaeda?

Um...have we forgotten how many reports said that bodies found in the past were riddled with bullets and showing signs of torture, have all had the clear hallmark of Malaki's Shiite death squads--as reprisals against the Sunni insurgency?

So where does Al-Qaeda fit into this latest "victory"?

I mean, are we going to continue to link Al-Qaeda to EVERYTHING bad going on in Iraq without even bothering to check with our sources?

Is this the best our own US intelligence can come up with?

Answer 1

It's called propaganda and is a desparate attempt to justify the invasion of Iraq by linking it to the fight against Al Qaeda whereas everyone knows that Saddam was the enemy of Al Qaeda

Answer 2

So what branch of military are you in again?? I love you people who think you have all the freakin answers and can, like the guy above me said, "Shoot your mouth off". You really know your stuff....you must have been in special Ops or something....real tight with the terrorists are we? Wish i had an inside look at what really goes down...I'm glad that it actually matters what group has killed and tortured thousands of their own citizens let alone what they do to our beloved soldiers over there. You can call them evil camp 1-100 (not sure of the actual number of groups of terrorists they have over there that we know about)...In the end, they all do the same and they all should be wiped out. Try complaining about something that really matters. Like getting the citizens of The United States to come together and fight for the country that we live in. Maybe do what we can as human beings and let the military do what they need to do.

Answer 3

Before you start shooting off at the mouth, you better do a little research.

This latest torture cell IS AQIZ. The victims confirmed it and the tip that lead the soldiers to it confirmed it.

There are JAM torture cells and we'll get them, too.
