Iraq Arrests Dozens Over "Coup Plot"
Approximately 30 Iraqi policemen have been arrested for an attempted coup of Nuri al-Maliki's government. This is in addition to 50 interior ministry staff including senior officials that have also been arrested. Some in Iraq apparently desire to return to the days of Saddam Hussein's Baath Party and, by association I guess, torture rooms, corruption and mass murder.
Allegedly this was the work of Al-Awda (The Return) a "clandestine group" that has wished the return of the old guard since 2003. The group was formed not long after the execution of Saddam Hussein.
For the life of me, I cannot understand why a now free people would want to go back living under the rule of a tyrant, or that of which the way said tyrant ruled.
Watch, if there aren't already, there will be stupid headlines like, "Shoe Coup," or something to that affect.
