U.S. commanders say their door to door patrols have uncovered nearly two dozen houses of horror in the back streets of Fallujah, reports CBS News Correspondent Lee Cowan.
"The face of Satan was here in Fallujah, and I'm absolutely convinced that that was true," said Lt. Col. Gareth Brandl, with the U.S. Marines.
The rooms were found by Marines following trails of dried blood, or the smell of death. Some rooms were hidden behind fake walls, or concealed in basements.
Residents told troops they only knew the torture chambers were there because they could hear the screams at night.
"We found numerous houses, also, where people were just chained to a wall for extended periods of time," said U.S. military intelligence officer Major Jim West.
Marines believe they found the place where British hostage Kenneth Bigley was caged before being beheaded, and others where American hostages could have been held.
Forensics teams are testing blood on the walls and floors to determine who was held there -- and intelligence officials are hoping interviews with those already in U.S. custody can uncover even more.

But over at DU they were saying we were the bad guys.
I wonder if CBS' 60 Minutes will do a segment on this and represent the American military forces in Iraq as heroic men doing great things?
OK, now clean the soda off your monitor. Sorry.
Yeah, for the DUmmies the real house of horrors was in a mosque when an Iraqi "freedom fighter" was "murdered" by a Marine.
Years ago I attended a lecture given by a survivor of the Holocaust. With me was a German girl (17 or 18 at the time) who was two generations removed from the Germany of the 1930s and early 1940s. But she wept with guilt after listening to the survivor's story. The offspring of today's citizens of Falluja will likely bear a similar guilt.
The DUnderheads still say the butt-crack pyramid and the panties hat are worse.
Save your money and your time. Those clowns are hopeless.
I'd chip in some $ if the DUmmies' trip to Fallujah was involuntary, and a one-way ticket!
Fallujah's Houses Of Horror...
Fallujah's?
Fallujah isn't the only place with Mosques.
Why not save the money for that and instead spend it on some camps to put ALL of them in - permanently. Buy American. And no, there's no sarcasm tag.
'The face of Satan was here in Fallujah'
Jesus
The Army should now bring back Col West ..reinstate him with pay and bump him a pay grade
imo
I wasn't being sarcastic in my earlier posts either!
There was a guy that was in Iraq before the war. He was one of the human shield guys. After being there, he had a change of heart. Wish I could find that story.
I forgot all about those morons.

What was I supposed to see there? I looked but did not pick up on it. Of course, thanks for the link.
