More torture in Iraq now than under Saddam

So much for all the Bush claims that Iraq is so much better off without Saddam:

Torture in Iraq is worse now than it was under the regime of Saddam Hussein and "is totally out of hand", according to a United Nations investigator.

"The situation is so bad many people say it is worse than it has been in the times of Saddam Hussein," said Manfred Nowak, a UN special investigator on torture, at a press conference in Geneva.

He said government forces, private militia and terrorist groups were all involved.

Of course, what's even worse is that our President, while condemning the torture practiced by Saddam's henchmen, is promoting torture by our henchmen.
