Iraq executes 42 'terrorists', including woman, as violence worsens: The U.N. mission in the country said it was concerned about the executions, which took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, and repeated its call for Baghdad to suspend the death penalty.Rights groups say executions have been on the rise in recent years.
Sixty-eight death sentences were carried out in 2011, according to Amnesty International. The 42 hanged this week amounted to almost a third of the total number the campaign group said were executed in all of 2012. More than 6,000 people have been killed in attacks across Iraq so far this year, as Sunni Islamist insurgents including al Qaeda regain momentum.

Mornin Jim! I covered a tad in some posting's on Iraq 2012/ 2013(?) But frankly Jim, I have looked at Iraq and our so called work there to democratize it as a total loss and failure of "OUR TIME & MONEY" what we spent on this etc, etc (of course only one company was big enough Haliburton to do the subcontractinf and we all know who was one of the the largest shareholder's of them ... Cheney) Tofay Iraq has shown more instability and brutality unfer democracy than during the ruling of the dictator Saddam ... Iraqi's line the street's for cheap fay labour because of all the immigrant employment that corporation's brought in and Iraqi govmnt kill's citizen's in the street's openly even ... enough from me though on this Jim ... just my opinion/ observance.
Anywayz, hope all is well with ya'll up there ... those Pat's are still lookin good too {: )
Later Jim ....
Sorry for the typo's I forgot to check my shit after ....
Hey Jim,
This Country is in the worst shape I have ever seen it in. We can not take care of our Democracy let alone police the World.
Our literacy is in danger do to poor schools and lack of funding for teachers. Our environment is a mess and our Corporate running of Government and the world must cease and cease now.
This shutdown has shown just how well Democracy works and we are the laughing stock of the world.
We wiped out a Generation of Iraqi citizens and should have never gone into that Country to begin with.
I do not know what it is going to take for the US to realize, that the Middle East has been duking it out for eons. They need a dictator not necessarily the murdering kind and look now where Democracy has gotten us.
We have to stop the policing of the whole world. We can not afford it in our country and it is not working out real well in most other countries.
Thanks,
Trisha
Bingo Trisha! You are like me and seem to have an innate understanding of everything.
Hey RC glad to hear from you. All is well and trust it is with you. We had no right upsetting the middle east's imbalance. The entire middle east will blow now and you see it happening. What kills me is Bush knew it and attacked Iraq anyway to get into the middle east, help Israel and at the very least attack Syria and Iran. Hmm what a surprise huh?
