#1 I notice we 'detain' a lot of 'suspects' lately in Iraq. I hope they are put to work busting their butts while waiting for formal charges or regular beatings or whatever Iraqis do with vermin.

#2 The Iraqis like to hang IED builders : they are given a quick trial, quick appeals, and then are hanged. Average time between sentence and execution in Iraq is about 6 months.

#4 We musn't complain, anymouse. If this is the Iraqi version of the mills of Justice grind slow, but they grind exceeding small, that's an awful lot faster than we've been processing them at Gitmo, or in the American courts. No doubt in a generation or so they'll come to match American rates.
