I must say, some of the least hysterical comments on the prison-abuse stories from Iraq are coming from Iraqis.
-Yes but what about the way they are treated? And how did you find American soldiers in general?- I’ll tell you about that; first let me tell you that I was surprised with their politeness. Whenever they come to the hospital, they would take of their helmets and show great respect and they either call me Sir or doctor. As for the way they treat the prisoners, they never handcuff anyone of those, political or else, when they bring them for examination and treatment unless I ask them to do so if I know that a particular prisoner is aggressive, and I never saw them beat a prisoner and rarely did one of them use an offensive language with a prisoner.

Update: Oops. That should be Abu Ghraib prison.
