Danish soldiers accused of torture (in Iraq)
http://pub.tv2.no/nettavisen/english/article312166.ece

One of Iraq’s largest papers accuses Danish soldiers of torturing prisoners with electro shock and physical violence.

Danish soldiers were accused of hitting, kicking and torturing Iraqi prisoners with electro shock in the paper Al-Manarah, one of the two large papers in Iraq.

The Danish military command center, Hærens Operative Kommando, relayed this information to the Danish paper Politiken and at the same time rebutted the accusations.

1. Look what they took away from their home searches.....
According to Dalby, the Iraqi security forces made 37 arrests in connection with house searchers. Large amounts of weapons and hashish were confiscated. More than 1000 Danish, British, and Iraqi soldiers participated in the action.

Since when are the forces also authorized to lift things like this on their "visits" to the Iraqi citizens' homes?

What do any of these people have against simply treating people with a minimum of decency, at least, and then getting the hell out of their country?
