The Death Squads
Exposed: The reality of U.S. occupation
Of Iraq
Night after night death squads rampage through Iraq's
main cities. In Baghdad, up to a hundred bodies a day are
dumped on the streets. Often they've been tortured with
electric drills. Yet those doing the killing have little to
do with al Qaeda or Sunni insurgents.
This shocking film investigates the links between the
death squads and high-ranking Shia politicians. It reveals
how the Shia militia that these politicians control have
systematically infiltrated and taken over police units and
even entire government ministeries. It investigates how
these units are closely linked to the death squads, indeed
they often are the death squads. And the killers act with
impunity -- there's little investigation into their
activities.
