Security forces in Iraq detained nearly 300 people, mostly intellectuals such as lawyers, artists and journalists who were involved in demonstrations Friday.
Why detain intellectuals?
Could be an effort to intimidate and muzzle those who influence public opinion.
After their release on Saturday, journalist told of being handcuffed, beaten, blindfolded and threatened with death by Iraqi intelligence soldiers.
So, this is what American soldiers died for?
We (the U.S.) brought them torture, one million dead and "democracy" all because of nonexistent weapons of mass destruction.
Speaking of democracy, I don't remember getting to vote on the invasion of Iraq.
