Freedom and democracy in the new Iraq - girls beaten by police

Iraqi police beat up and shaved the heads of two Iraqi girls who dared wear jeans and long hair after first beating the girls in front of a crowd of people in Najaf. Did the US actually train these criminals? It's a type of democracy and freedom that I'm not familiar with but perhaps the White House can tell us more about what they are doing to protect the rights of women in Iraq. Better yet, why not send Laura to go save the day and show her support for Iraqi women.
