And, of course, your country is also torturing Iraqis.
-- what torture? Putting a bag over someone's head is not torture.
You want torture, I'll give you torture: "Marines on an operation to eliminate insurgents that began Friday broke through the outside wall of a building in this small rural village to find a tortur center equipped with electric wirs, a noose, handcuffs, a 574-page jihad manual, and four beaten and shackled Iraqis... The men... said that they had been tortured with shocks and flogged with a strip of rubber for more than two weeks... Ahmed Isa Fathil, 19, said he had never seen the faces of his captors, who occasionally shispered at him "we will kill you."
 
Nice company you want to keep.
 
 
 
 

That is
to say, people who have taken up arms against an occupying army
after an illegal invasion. Insurgents. Resistance fighters.
"Red Dawn" style patriots.
