It ain't sounding good in post-Saddam, post-occupation Iraq.

"Violations of 'Islamic teachings' take deadly toll on Iraqi women."

"BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The images in the Basra police file are nauseating: Page after page of women killed in brutal fashion -- some strangled to death, their faces disfigured; others beheaded. All bear signs of torture. The women are killed, police say, because they failed to wear a headscarf or because they ignored other "rules" that secretive fundamentalist groups want to enforce."

Sad.
