Iraqi complaints

Here's a story I haven't seen anywhere else yet: The Dayton Daily News obtained a database of lawsuits filed by Iraqi civilians against the U.S. military. This is fascinating stuff, leading with the story of a taxi driver shot to death by soldiers as he was out trying to support his family. The family asked for $2500, and were turned down.
The reaction of a relative of a victim of a similar incident:

"Our point of view toward the Americans has changed. You can feel the fury inside you," said Amir Shleman, Chaman's brother. "If they treated people like human beings, no one would take up weapons against them."
