Looks like the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Political power in Iraq has more to do with dishing out paybacks and less about building a decent Iraq. Considering the way the new regime was introduced this should not be any surprise though. The US was present during this latest discovery so we should expect to hear a clear statement about the removed detainees right away.
A statement by the Iraqi Human Rights Ministry added that an investigating judge ordered the immediate release of 56 people from the Baghdad facility after the inspection on Dec. 8.
Last month, U.S. troops found up to 173 malnourished Iraqi detainees at a building belonging to the Shiite-led Interior Ministry in Baghdad's Jadriyah district. Some of the inmates showed signs of torture. On Nov. 15, al-Jaafari promised an investigation and results within two weeks. No report has been released.
