Winning Hearts and Minds in Baghdad

Via Dkos and Glenn Greenwald): This BBC Report shows US Forces standing by and laughing as Iraqi Forces brutally beat three Sunni prisoners, a young boys body is found after he's been murdered - no investigation is even attempted, while a mixed Shia-Sunni family received a death threat and an ominous red "x" on their door "Leave or we'll cut off your head".

Growing up in South Central and living amongst brutal gangs and indifferent cops - this entire scene is sadly very familiar to me.
