  • Iraq

    The horror in Iraq grows ever deeper. The photographs of Americans torturing Iraqis have sickened me to the core. That they were doing this in o­ne of Saddam Hussain's old torture palaces has managed to lower the moral status of the continued conflict even further.Not o­nly that, but each horror like this makes it harder…
