So how are the Iraqi people better off without Sadam, when we put
a Sadam-Like thug in power?

Witnesses Say Allawi Executed 6 Prisoners in Cold Blood
Sydney Morning Herald reports, "Iyad Allawi, the new Prime Minister of
Iraq, pulled a pistol and executed as many as six suspected insurgents
at a Baghdad police station, just days before Washington handed control
of the country to his interim government, according to two people who
allege they witnessed the killings. They say the prisoners - handcuffed
and blindfolded - were lined up against a wall in a courtyard adjacent
to the maximum-security cell block in which they were held at the
Al-Amariyah security centre, in the city's south-western suburbs. They
say Dr Allawi told onlookers the victims had each killed as many as 50
Iraqis and they 'deserved worse than death'. The Prime Minister's office
has denied the entirety of the witness accounts in a written
statement... But the informants told the Herald that Dr Allawi shot each
young man in the head as about a dozen Iraqi policemen and four
Americans from the Prime Minister's personal security team watched in
stunned silence. "
