Iraq hangs 13 for insurgency role

And the BBC is not happy.

"The competent authorities have today carried out the death sentences of 13 terrorists," a cabinet statement said.

The name of only one of those executed was released. Shuqair Farid, a former policeman, allegedly confessed he had enlisted Iraqis to carry out attacks.


"Allegedly" confessed? No bias there, eh?

And this...

The BBC's Andrew North in Baghdad says that, with more than 14,000 people currently in US coalition detention, it raises the possibility that there could be many more executions.


These executions have nothing to do with the US. Iraqi prisoners are tried and if convicted sentened by Iraqi courts. If there are more terrorist executions, it will not be because of the US, it will be because the terrorists committed acts of terrorism, were fairly tried, convicted and sentenced by Iraqi courts.
