Just yesterday (Saturday), Bush said in his radio address that an Iraqi woman was hanged for waving at coalition troops. He also stated that there have been other atrocities toward informers and the like such as torture and execution.

The press hasn't been able to substantiate that, but then even as they are "embedded" with the troups, they can't be everywhere the military is.

What's more disconcerting is the recent find of US military clothing in an Iraqi hospital. The US uniforms were blood stained, and the patches and other identifying features were ripped off the sleeves and lapels. Also found in that hospital was a steel rod connected to a car battery, said to be an obvious torture instrument.

So yes, violence still goes on there. The Iraqis are desperate. The "taxi" attack on the supply line is good enough proof to show this.
