Iraq - Hangings and torture at Abu Ghraib

So, you think America is bad? Read this.

What US soldiers did was wrong and they are being punished but what they did pales in comparison to this.

...Of the 148 men and boys whose death warrants Mr. Hussein is accused of signing, 96 were hanged in the Abu Ghraib prison, the documents showed. Forty-six died under torture, including four additional inmates who were accidentally added to the group. Ten boys and adolescents were executed in 1989, after they reached the legal age.
[...]

...One letter stated: "It was discovered that the execution of 10 juveniles was not carried out because their ages ranged from 11 to 17 years old. We recommend executing them in a secret manner in coordination with the management of the prison and the Mukhabarat."


Both were wrong and one doesn't escuse the other but where's the media and Muslim outrage over this?
