Heard this morning on CBC radio:
The U.N. reports that a growing number of gay Iraqis are being targeted, kidnapped and killed in a Fatwa issued by The Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq - an Iranian organization that has come into Iraq after the U.S. invasion.
Sunni militants are targeting gay men, setting up traps, including using message boards and chat rooms to ferret them out and kill them.
When homosexual Iraqi men are going to the Americans, begging for protection, they are being turned away.
You can hear the short program here:

This is why I pay attention to the Canadian & British press. I haven't heard anything about this on the U.S. news.
