BAGHDAD -- Insurgent groups in Iraq are committing war crimes by targeting civilians in mass killings, abductions and beheadings, a human rights group said today. Human Rights Watch, which often has criticized abuses by U.S. forces in Iraq, turned attention in its latest report to terrorist groups such as al Qaeda in Iraq and Ansar al-Sunnah. Human Rights Watch also said the disregard for the lives of civilians in the mostly Muslim country was backfiring in terms of popular support for the insurgency elsewhere in the Arab world.

I wonder if HRW actually called them terrorists in their report.
Oh, and with respect to war crimes -- "DUH!!!"
HRW better watch their backs. Muslims take any criticisms of their actions as blasphemous and "un-Islamic". It wouldn't surprise me at all if they declared jihad on HRW buildings & personnel.

They almost sound disappointed but truth is truth so I'll take it.
That's why they are upset. - Tom
An little late aren't you?
I couldn't care less, if all these weasels
got their asses captured and tortured to death,
They have got absolutely *NO* credibility, or
trustworthiness left in my eyes. They've betrayed
everyhing they said they stand for.
