Did anyone watch this on BBC's Panorama last night?

Apparently under Saddam it was safer for gays in Iraq.

Some of the atrocities that were committed on gays were sickening and uncivilised.

In the programme it was stated that some gays had their heads chopped off and stuffed into their stomachs, others had their anuses glued up and forced to take laxative.

It was also not unusual under this gay hating religion for arrested gays to be put up against the wall and gang raped by the police.

More fall out from the so-called 'liberation' from Saddam Hussein.

One hopes Haliburton are doing well...

The levels of hatred that such sickening acts of torture represent is incomprehensible to me. And, come to that, I have never understood how these authorities can square punishing a man for homosexuality by the use of male rape? How do the authorities and indeed the torturer/police official square that with their religiously inspired doctrine?

i did watch some of the programme but after the relentless gruesome stories i had to switch over. It does seem strange that things were supposedly better for gay men and women whilst Saddam was in power, how much i wonder if this is anything to go by.
