Hell On Earth In Iraq.
---I just heard reports over 20 people found shot execution style, while bound, found on military firing range this morning, didn't hear the location other than Iraq.---

In Baghdad, corpse on a street no longer shocks
BAGHDAD, June 10 (Reuters) - A few motorists passed by. They glanced over casually. Then looked away from the body lying on a street with fresh blood oozing from bullet wounds to the face.
The scene would shock people in most cities. But after two years of suicide bombings, shootings and kidnappings, the people of Baghdad seem numb to bloodshed that has scarred their city.
No police rushed to the scene. The body just lay face down near a pile of garbage as people went about their business in the southern district of Doura.
And even if police had shown an interest, delivering justice is a daunting task for officers who can barely defend themselves from insurgents who have killed many of their comrades.
The slain man might have fallen victim to anyone from guerrillas to criminal gangs thriving on the chaos of Baghdad.
Two men, a woman and a boy on a bicycle approached the body, lying face-down and covered by an old tablecloth weighed down by a chunk of cement to keep the makeshift shroud from blowing away. Who put the cover there was not clear.
One of the passers-by pulled it back, exposing a face hit by several bullets. He said carjackers had carried out the killing.
"I called the police when the carjackers were still here," he said. But no police came. Other motorists drove by.
"I hope God does not bless you," said the woman in the group, referring to the carjackers. "You are immoral dogs."
