One today: "Late in the day, police said they had found 44 bodies across the capital, some of them handcuffed, blindfolded and showing signs of torture - often the hallmarks of reprisal killings by Shiite Muslim and Sunni Arab death squads." No specific source identified. And another on Saturday: "Police also found the bodies of 53 men who had been bound and blindfolded before they were shot to death in Baghdad â€" apparently the latest victims of sectarian death squads." Sounds to me like someone should check out the handcuff store in Baghdad and see who has been buying. They must be going through a thousand sets a month at the rate of the news reporting.
