The new new Iraqi flag:

BAGHDAD, April 30 -- It was supposed to take care of problems raised by the first flag redesign: a figure of an Iraqi prisoner with a hood over his head, standing on a box and with wires connected to his hands, two light blue stripes representing broomsticks used to beat and sodomize captives, and a third yellow stripe to symbolize the urine that was directed at their heads.

But the newest national flag, presented Friday after an artistic competition at the Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad, appears to have met with widespread public disapproval here.
