GregS* writes “From the NRO article:
“An Iraqi police lieutenant, who for obvious reasons asked to remain anonymous, confirmed to me the widespread rumors that a few police officers are perpetrating many of the hundreds of assassinations — mostly of former Baath Party members — that take place in Basra each month. He told me that there is even a sort of “death car”: a white Toyota Mark II that glides through the city streets, carrying off-duty police officers in the pay of extremist religious groups to their next assignment.”
So wrote American freelance journalist Steven Vincent in a piece that appeared in the New York Times this past weekend.
And then a death car came for him.
Vincent was there working on a book on life in “post-liberation Basra”.”
