In Iraq: Fighting corruption w
"Iraq's Interior Ministry has fired or reassigned more than 10,000 employees, including high-ranking police, who were found to have tortured prisoners, accepted bribes or had ties to militias," USA TODAY's Rick Jervis writes this morning from Baghdad.
His exclusive report is based on an interview with Jassim Hanoon, spokesman for Iraq's Interior Ministry.
Jervis also reports that "a soon-to-be-released internal inquiry ... details 41 incidents of human rights abuse at the ministry. In one case, four members of the national police hanged prisoners from a ceiling and beat them with sticks."
The New York Times, meanwhile, writes today that "Iraqi special forces and British troops stormed the offices of an Iraqi government intelligence agency in the southern city of Basra on Sunday, and British officials said they discovered about 30 prisoners, some showing signs of torture."
