Ali Fadhil - update (Wednesday, January 11th, 2006)

Published by markfromireland in Human Rights, Iraq at 2:51 pm. Skip down to comments or read the others.

Dr. Ali Fadhil the Iraqi anti-corruption journalist who was detained by American soldiers who burst into his home two days ago claiming that they were looking for an insurgent has prepared an audio report of his family’s ordeal which the Guardian have made available here:

“How US troops destroyed my family home”

My original posting about this can be read here.

Note to US forces in Iraq: This sort of thing is not how you go about creating peace and stability in a country you’re occupying.

Update Jan 16th: I have now learnt that the Dr. Fadhil to who this posting refers is NOT the same person as the Dr. Fadhil of “A free Iraqi.”

    Mark, be reasonable these are fightin’ men with no time for social niceties - just ask jolly old Dick Cheney!

    “jolly” old Dick Cheney ?

    Heh. I see you’ve still got a good sense of humour, graniab.

    When I heard about his recent ‘water retention’ problem, I couldn’t decide which outcome I’d sooner see.

    Him bloating uncontrolably till he finally went ‘pop’ - like a big baloon - or simply slowly drowning in his own pee.
