Indeed, this is some kind of 'good news' in the sense that it could be possible that this kind of jails are completely over in the future. This is not up to me, but it sure is something I would like to see materialize in the (short) future. Most understand that this can only be done if there is some kind of good 'follow up' after the war. And I am well aware of the fact a lot of my readers will shout 'But look at the way the Americans messed up in Afghanistan!'. 
But you are completely wrong my dear reader, the follow up in Iraq will be different. You can trust me on that (simply because there will always (Iraqi) pilots or so willing to 'help the story' a little bit in the future).
Why do I call this little part 'Bad News'? Simply because there is a small possibility that this kind of prisons will not be abandoned, oh oh Iraqi people watch a bit out... Wiping out White Lion stuff is some good news of course!   

 

Follow up different this time? Yes, it will be different. But how different this will be I am not sure of right now, from the American side sound like 'Not a penny to the coalition of the UN-willing' are heard. Only 'coalition companies' allowed on the list to 'rebuild Iraq'. 
My dear Iraqi people, may I ask you not to buy this crap? After all the Americans named this war the 'Iraqi freedom' war. So when fighting is over just do what is best for your country, and if the Russian-French oil offer is just better why not kick some (american) arse? Why not?

But first you must get used to the freedom that democracy can bring, can you stand individual freedom without falling in too much anarchy? Let me wish you luck, and if you don't get organized may be this kind of jails come back. Just feel your backbone and do not be afraid to kick some american arse (just look at me....). Now I quote the 'good news':

 

Iraqis tour half-demolished jail 'of evil'

Secret police reported to have used jail for torture

Wednesday, April 9, 2003 Posted: 2:55 AM EDT (0655 GMT)

BASRA, Iraq (AP) -- Iraqis showed journalists a white stone jail where they claim Saddam Hussein's secret police for decades tortured inmates with beatings, mutilations, electric shocks and chemical baths.

The jail, known as the "White Lion," was charred and half-demolished Tuesday after two days of bombing by British forces fighting for control of Basra, Iraq's second- largest city.

People taken behind the jail's sandstone facade usually did not come out, residents said.

Hundreds of Iraqis came to see the now- empty jail, according to British press reports. Relatives of missing inmates checked fingerprinted files and lists of names found amid the fallen bricks.

"It was a place of evil," resident Hamed Fattil said.

Hamed told British reporters that Iraqi police locked him and his two brothers in a jail dungeon in 1991, and that he was freed after eight months but his brothers were still missing.

"They used to strap a leather cord around our head, hands and shoulders and hoist us two feet off the ground. Then they would beat us as we hung there," Hamed said.

"They did unthinkable things -- electrocution, immersion in a bath of chemicals and ripping off people's finger and toenails."

The jail basement was a warren of cells, chambers and cages where the ground was strewn with an insect-eaten gas mask and bottles, according to Associated Press Television News footage.

For the cameras, two men re-enacted how jailers allegedly tortured prisoners.

One man, hands tied behind his back with a rope attached to a hook on the ceiling, bent over while another man pantomimed hitting him on the back and the face with his hands and a long, white rod.

One man shuddered while the other gave him a pretend electric shock.

Outside the jail, a man showed APTN his mangled ears.

Hamed took British reporters into a yard behind the jail into a set of white boxy cells, surrounded by red wire mesh with a low, wire roof.

He said some of the cells, which had red doors with large bolts, were used to hold women and children. He also said hundreds of men were kept in a single cell about the size of a living room, which had one rusted grate window.

Between the men's and women's cells was a long mesh cage. Hamed said here, jailers pressed prisoners against the mesh and squeezed hot irons against their backs or threw scalding water on them in front of other inmates.
