Ali Fadhil - update

Dr. Ali Fadhil the Iraqi anti-corruption journalist who was detained by American soldiers who burst into his home two days ago claiming that they were looking for an insurgent has prepared an audio report of his family's ordeal which the Guardian have made available here:

"How US troops destroyed my family home"
My original posting about this can be read here.

Note to US forces in Iraq: This sort of thing is not how you go about creating peace and stability in a country you're occupying.

Update Jan 16th: I have now learnt that the Dr. Fadhil to who this posting refers is NOT the same person as the Dr. Fadhil of "A free Iraqi."
