Well, this could be awkward..... US veterans of the first Iraq war want to sue Iraq for torture.... Of course Bush is trying to stop them
Gulf War veterans who were tortured by their Iraqi captors 17 years ago called Friday on President Bush to allow them to proceed with a lawsuit seeking compensation from the Iraqi government.
Bush last month rejected a defense spending bill that would have left the current Iraqi government financially liable for the actions taken by the former regime of Saddam Hussein.
