Suspected hostage cells found in Falluja
US forces have found nearly 20 houses in the Iraqi city of Falluja where they believe people were tortured and where foreign hostages may have been killed.
On Monday, a CNN correspondent attached to one unit in central Falluja said those troops believed they may have found the wire cage where British hostage Kenneth Bigley was shown on video pleading for his life. He was later beheaded last month.
“It looks like we found a number of houses,” where torture took place, said Major Jim West, an intelligence officer, told reporters. US officers put the number of torture sites “close to 20″.
I love all the passive voice in this article… “where torture took place", “people were tortured", “may have been killed” and “was shown". No actors… these things just happened somehow. Sigh.
