#4 "Many Iraqis complain they are unable to locate detained relatives and friends. Recently, the coalition has posted the names of detainees on the Internet, but most Iraqis have no access to the World Wide Web."

â¦ and the detainees walked away (in tact I might add). Not like the good old days of Saddam, when the response to questions about a detained family memberâs legal status was, âOh, he was guilty, all rightâ¦ third mass grave on the leftâ¦ visiting hours were over two hours agoâ¦â
