Singapore's Straits Times describes the scene beneath an Iraqi military intelligence compound:

The Marines found 123 prisoners, including five women, barely alive in an underground warren of cells and torture chambers.... Severely emaciated, ... All the men had beards down to their waists, said onlookers.

Most looked absolutely dazed when they emerged, said Mr Sadoun Mohamed, 37, who lives in the area. "They had not seen sunlight for a long time," he said. "They kept blinking and covering their faces."

Where were the protestors in this occasion??
