Hello from Western Canada; I write at www.jaygeenen.com. One of my novels is "The Iraqi Solution', almost a must read for those with political minds. More truth than fiction as I examine the reasons for war in a spoof style. email jaygeenen@hotmail.com

Nouri al-Maliki's 'detention squad' Reports show US worried that Iraqi prime minister uses his political power to crack down on rivals. Gregg Carlstrom Last Modified: 24 Oct 2010 15:47 GMT
'In October 2006, an Iraqi army unit reportedly robbed a number of people living in Sunni neighbourhoods in western Baghdad. The unit was arrested on October 11 - and told its captors that it was operating under the authority of Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki.
1/5/6 IA patrol stops 2X IA M1114s and 1X pick up truck occupied by 17X LNs in IA uniforms and equipment. 5/6 orders detenftion of all 17 individuals and vehicles due to reports over several days of 2X IA M1114s conducting robberies in the Mansour and Washash areas of 5/6 IA battle space.
[...] Detainees claim to be Iraqi special forces working for the prime minister's office.
The unit seems to be a sort of "detention squad" operating under al-Maliki's authority. An official from the defence ministry showed up several hours later and urged the US to release the men, saying their mission was "directed by PM Maliki".'
Protests in Iraq inspired by events in Tunisia and Egypt - see "Musings on Iraq". The photo shows the situation in Basra.

I see you mate Gary Kent is using the LFIQ website to big up his employer, Nouri Al Maliki.

How much was he paid for this bit of propaganda? Know what I mean Harry.
More on the real Maliki here, read it and then defend the LFIQ if you have the guts.
