Morgue staff stand by the bodies of men discovered in Baqouba, 60 kilometers (35 miles) northeast of Baghdad, Iraq, Wednesday, March 28, 2007. Some 20 bodies were discovered around Baqouba bearing signs of torture, Wednesday.
Shiite militants and police enraged by deadly truck bombings went on a shooting rampage against Sunnis in a northwestern Iraqi city Wednesday, killing as many as 70 men execution-style and prompting fears that sectarian violence was spreading outside the capital.
The killings occurred in the mixed Shiite-Sunni city Tal Afar, which had been an insurgent stronghold until an offensive by U.S. and Iraqi troops in September 2005, when militants fled into the countryside without a fight. Last March, President Bush cited the operation as an example that gave him "confidence in our strategy."
Any word from that freshman Republican representative from Michigan on all this violence? I was wondering if the Detroit Police had executed 70 men today or not.
