Do As We Do, And As We Say
Iraqis Caught Torturing Prisoners Inside Gov't Building
In Iraq, British-led troops have uncovered an Iraqi government facility in the southern city of Basra where Shiite forces were torturing prisoners and producing bomb-making equipment. The torture was going on inside the local headquarters of Iraq's interior ministry's domestic intelligence agency. The troops captured an alleged death squad leader and found 30 prisoners with signs of torture. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki ordered an investigation – however not of the torture taking place but of the British led-raid. Al-Maliki called the raid an "unlawful and irresponsible act."

I'm confused, when is it ok to torture and when is it not? The Iraqis were doing the same thing to the same people that the US has been doing for years!
