[Major General Joseph] Peterson said that Interior Minister Jabr had fired four brigade commanders over allegations of abuse and corruption. The most notorious commando unit, the Wolf Brigade, was recently renamed the "Freedom Brigade."

What's next, passing a law that guts civil liberties and calling it the PATR… oh, wait, never mind.
