From today's The Hindu (my emphasis):

"According to reports, a U.S. military unit recently rescued several men from a government building where they were being beaten up by a group of fellow Iraqis. The Iraqi intelligence personnel were reported to have made an interesting retort when the Americans told them to stop beating their prisoners -- that unlike American prison guards, they had at least not raped the detenus."

Though my head is fairly bursting with things to say about this, I am going to desist from making any wisecracks.
