Michael Totten videblogs a police interrogation in Kirkuk:

"You hit him very exactly, it seemed," Patrick said. "You knew exactly how hard to hit him. His face wasn't damaged. I would have broken his nose."

Mam Rostam laughed. "He still seems like a teenager," he said. "We have to fight them a little bit, to teach them not to do dangerous things, just to stop them where they are. They need to be adjusted more than they need to be punished. So we're trying this stage with them first. If it doesn't work, then there is another issue."

"His teeth were still intact," Patrick said.

Mam Rostam laughed again. "Those slaps were advice," he said. "Because the city is unstable, we have to be a little bit violent with people to stop them. Otherwise they won't be afraid to do many other evil actions. We have to be a little bit severe."
