Seven Up

In criticising reports about the 173 detainees found in the basement of an Interior Ministry building in Baghdad, Interior Minister, Bayn Jabr complained that the reports were exaggerating the conditions and that

no one was beheaded, no one was killed,

and we should actually really be quite comfortable with the notion that

only seven detainees showed signs of abuse.

No headless torsos and only seven were tortured! See, that's not so bad.
