Iraqi police implicated in exe
The man heading U.S. efforts to revamp Iraq's judicial and police systems said today's apparent revenge killings by off-duty Iraqi officers underscores his mission.
The Justice Department's Jim Santelle said it's a big task to change the culture ingrained by years of Saddam-era police brutality.

Police corruption claims refer
Western Australia's Police Commissioner, Karl O'Callaghan, has referred allegations of police misconduct to the Corruption and Crime Commission (CCC).
The allegations involve police failing to disclose evidence in a high profile murder trial.
The High Court last week ordered a retrial for Andrew Mallard who was sentenced to life imprisonment for the 1994 murder of Mosman Park jeweller, Pamela Lawrence.
In Parliament yesterday, the Member for Mindarie, John Quigley, alleged during Mr Mallard's trial police had attempted to pervert the course of justice by failing to disclose facts and suppressing evidence.
Commissioner O'Callaghan said he fully supports the call for a retrial but maintains the High Court did not make any findings that police acted corruptly or attempted to pervert the course of justice.
He says some matters of the non-disclosure of evidence were raised by the court and he has referred them to the CCC.
Commissioner O'Callaghan has refused to say whether two senior police officers accused of hiding evidence in a murder trial have been moved from their current positions.
He has asked the CCC to examine the allegations but will not say whether the men will stay in their current positions during the investigation.
"An officer is stood down from their position when there are firm allegations about their integrity and I haven't got those yet," he said.
"There's nothing in the High Court decision that mentions that."
