Quote: | Iraqi deputies demanded yesterday an official apology from Washington over the manhandling by US soldiers of an MP at a Baghdad checkpoint, with some calling for the fortified Green Zone to be ?liberated from the occupation?. |
Quote: | ?When I told the translator with the soldier that I was a member of the National Assembly, he answered: to hell with you and the National Assembly,? Sheikh told his colleagues.
?I got really upset, so I got down from my vehicle to confront him and at that moment a US soldier came over and grabbed my neck and choked me for a minute or so.? |
