Iraq leader attacks abuse claim

Iraqi President Jalal Talabani has dismissed as "nonsense" the charge
that the country's rights abuses are as bad as they were in Saddam Hussein's
era.


"If you go back to Saddam's Iraq, we see that Iraq was turned by Saddam to
concentration camps on the ground and mass graves underground," he said.

Mr Allawi, he said, "cannot compare this situation with that situation".

"I cannot convince myself or imagine that such nonsense has been said by Dr
Allawi," Mr Talabani said, pointing out that Iraqi now enjoyed a range of
democratic rights - from free expression to free elections.
