At least someone in our in government is publicly paying attention to this travesty. Has the State Department issued anything about this? From the office of Jared Polis:

    In response to recent reports of the death and persecution of gays in Iraq, Congressman Jared Polis (D-CO) called for an investigation into "egregious human rights violations" carried out against gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, and transgender (GLBT) Iraqis while meeting with US and Iraqi officials on a Congressional Delegation visit to Baghdad last week.
