Already it was impossible to say which was which.

Looks like the post-Saddam Iraq involves just as much torture as it did under his rule (and no, I'm not even including "abuses" by US interrogators):

Iraqi authorities routinely torture prisoners, a leading human rights group [Human Rights Watch] said on Tuesday, citing examples of abuse which will sound all too familiar to those who suffered under Saddam Hussein.

Starvation, electrocution, all the favorites. As kos says, "why did we invade again?" One supposed reason after another slips from under our feet . . .
