Iraq's parliament requested an official apology from the Bush administration for the beating of a member of parliament by U.S. troops.
Fattah al-Sheikh, independent member of the parliament but supposedly near to sadr group, said a soldier kicked his car, insulted him and grabbed him by the throat with both hands(!!) as others looked on, before tying his hands behind his back with white plastic cuffs and shoving him to the ground.
I don't speak English and so I said to the Iraqi translator with them, 'Tell them that I am a member of parliament,' and he replied, 'To hell with you, we are Americans,'
Sheikh told parliament, fighting back tears as he recounted the story.
"According to the Geneva conventions, an occupying force must respect the occupied nation," said Abdul Khaliq Zanganah, a Kurdish MP.
