According to the
NYT/International Herald Tribune, the new
Human Rights report on Iraq describes a number of human rights violations by the U.S. installed Iraqi government (Abu Ghraib wasn't counted among them, as that one belongs to us).
The document cited without comment a report by Human Rights Watch, an independent advocacy group, that "torture and ill treatment of detainees by police was commonplace," allegedly including "beatings with cables and hosepipes, electric shocks to their earlobes and genitals, food and water deprivation."
In one case, the report said, enough evidence had been gathered "to prosecute police officers in Baghdad who were systematically raping and torturing female detainees." Two of them received prison sentences, while four were demoted and reassigned.
The article claims that the U.S. is getting tougher on our allies than we have been in the past, singling out Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Egypt, among others, with tougher language than in reports of yore.
The reports on nations around the world can be found on the State Department's website, although you'll notice that we continue the tradition of not reporting on ourselves.
