A short Thursday Iraq Reader
spotted via Sarsparilla Vanilla.
Just a couple quick non-music links for today (see below for part of the reason why):
Who commands the private soldiers? Allegations of abuse have raised wider questions about the role - and accountability - of civilian contractors (Guardian UK).
More on the civilian contractor involvement in the prison torture scandal from the New York Times.
But if the abuse/torture was isolated and done solely at the hands of just six or seven people, why is this the case? (New York Times)
And as if things aren't getting loopy enough already in Iraq: U.S. Soldiers Raid Chalabi's Home in Iraq (Washington Post).
Back to the regular madness tomorrow (hopefully).
