Grab Abu Prison - Bring Back the Americans!

There's new management at Grab Abu Prison in Baghdad, and the although you'd think they'd be happy to get rid of the Americans who did such dastardly things as putting underwear on their heads and making naked pyramids, but so far the inmates aren't too excited about Iraqi control:

An independent witness who went into Abu Ghraib this week told The Sunday Telegraph that screams were coming from the cell blocks housing the terrorist suspects. Prisoners released from the jail this week spoke of routine torture of terrorism suspects and on Wednesday, 27 prisoners were hanged in the first mass execution since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime.

Conditions in the rest of the jail were grim, with an overwhelming stench of excrement, prisoners crammed into cells for all but 20 minutes a day, food rations cut to just rice and water and no air conditioning.

Some of the small number of prisoners who remained in the jail after the Americans left said they had pleaded to go with their departing captors, rather than be left in the hands of Iraqi guards.

"The Americans were better than the Iraqis. They treated us better," said Khalid Alaani, who was held on suspicion of involvement in Sunni terrorism.

Somebody needs to send Teddy Kennedy and Dick Durbin over there to tell those prisoners that Americans are bad. That's what they've been telling America for months now.
