US Hands Over Camp Cropper to Iraqis

US Hands Over Last Prison in Iraq to Iraqis

This article from the Guardian seems to encapsulate many stories about America's withdrawal from Iraq.  The last US-held detention facility is being handed over to Iraqis BUT (you knew this was coming, right) the US will continue to hold 200 prisoners who will be housed in a separate section of the prison.  In other words, we are not really, truly completely out of Camp Cropper.

Camp Cropper, it is worth noting, has a controversial history and many detainees have alleged abuse and torture at the hands of the Americans. Ungrateful so-and-sos who don't appreciate the fact that we have liberated them. (Irony, obviously.)
