#2 Sounds like a example of what attempting to bribe the cops will get you. Without a working court system what else is there?.

#3 And a spate of executions of civilians in recent weeks has sparked new accusations against the force.

Take that with a few pounds of salt. Depending on which "civilians" are being killed, this may be just what Iraq needs.

#5 9mm ball is so much cheaper than Hellfires. The officers should be commended for being such good stewards of the public's money.

#6 "...former general in Saddam Husseinâs army and his son..found shot dead in Baghdad after being detained by police commandos,"For some unknown reason I can't work-up a decent outrage over this little incedent.

#8 Well at least we won't have to put up with Democratic Senators bleating on the Senate floor about how terrible they're being treated in Gitmo, will we. Think we have a solution here. Rest assured Senator Turban, they will not be handled roughly by our guards. Feel better now? Cause that is what is all important, how you feel.

#12 This can't be the RAB, there's no mention of going to pick up their weapons and most tellingly, no crossfire is mentioned.

I think it's a copycat outfit. Still, they do seem to be picking the right guys ;)

#14 The Wolf Brigade is one of the more effective forces we have stood up. Rough yeah but were in the middle east is the tatics not? They fit the territory and are effective in making the enemy supporters who are leaning to the enemy but not so much to be active fighters and still want to live thier lives. The Wolf brigade is rather effective of making those type stay off the support role due to fear of retribution something our forces are not capable of. The terrorist due this regularly to our fence setting supporters we need and should do the same to the enmies same.
