In 1982, a close friend of Kurdish freedom fighter Salah Ameydi was captured by the Mukhabarat, the Iraqi Secret Police. They brought him back to his village, and seized his wife and eight-month-old son. The new parents were then tied up and made to watch as their baby was burned to death in front of them with a hot iron. When the agents were finished with the child, they forced the husband to watch as his wife was brutally raped by four Iraqi soldiers. The husband was then dragged off to Abu Ghraib and tortured for years on end as a “political prisoner.” ... read full story / add a comment

The Green Party and Libertarian Party have just recently succeeded in raising enough money to demand a recount of votes in the Ohio election. David Cobb of the Green Party and Michael Badnarik of the Libertarian Party (both candidates for the 2004 election) are both demanding a recount. These are the same two candidates who were arrested outside of one of the debates earlier in the year.
