US-backed militias

"I took the following stills from a video that was filmed by a member of the US-backed Iraqi armed forces. The video shows how the sectarian Iraqi armed forces torture and execute unarmed Iraqis then burn their bodies. This attack took place in Suq Al-Shyukh in Thi Qar province in southern Iraq, and was referred to by Muqtada Al-Sadr in a letter dated April, 21st, 2008.

The Iraqi police, army, interior ministry forces, and other US backed forces are nothing more than nice titles for militias that happened to be called "governmental". The Sunnis and Shiites allied with the US get to have their militias treated as "good militias" with governmental titles, but the other Sunnis and Shiites who represent the majority of Iraqis and oppose the occupation are the ones with "bad militias" that are described as terrorists and extremists."
