Bad Boys TV - BBC: "The televised confessions, on a programme called 'Terror in the Hands of Justice', are shown at prime time every night, and are clearly aimed at shocking the Iraqi public. They portray the insurgents as bloodthirsty, venal, morally deviant, and religiously bankrupt. The broadcasts also include interviews with some of the Iraqi victims of the insurgency. 'They fired at the door seven times,' sobs one man. 'Then they shot my little daughter in the hand.' For many ordinary Iraqis, accustomed for three decades to the ways of the old regime, such televised confessions - a local form of reality TV - are normal, and they find them compulsive viewing. Few seem to doubt their authenticity. But the practice of parading prisoners making confessions obtained in questionable circumstances is way out of line with international standards of justice."
