Regarding mass graves, Click here. Many of the bodies found at the site near al-Hatra are believed to be the bodies of Kurdish women and children thought slaughtered by the Saddam Hussein regime.
Maybe he didn't kill as many people as Hitler did, but there is evidence of his hand in killing a people group.
The Slant drilling for oil: don't you think there would be more hype about that from the 'flaming liberal crowd?" (you say tomoto, I say tomato - you say neocon, I say flaming liberal. Fair enough?)
Women / children as safety fence - during the first Iraq war, Saddam was known to hide behind foreign people, including women and children to be safe from capture & being killed.
Firing scuds into Israel just shows how much of a loose cannon (literally - scuds couldn't be aimed too well!) Saddam was!

That dude is uncovering bodys in many places of hundreds of dead people. Not to minimize his work but hundreds? Where are the thousands, millions as some neocons would lead you to believe. You can't bury thousands let alone a million people and not leave a trace. These different spots being uncovered probably represent the majority of crimes committed.
"It is my personal opinion that this is a killing field," Kehoe told reporters during a visit to the site south of Mosul.
Personal opinion? Not a fact of how these bodies ended up there. Perhaps they were slaughtered during the highway of death scene in 1991? When it was Ok for us to murder Iraqis.

Kehoe said Iraqi informants told investigators that thousands were executed here. Oh, no its those all ways reliable Iraqi informants who brought more hoaxes upon the US government to make local bigfoot filmer red with envy.
Thousands? Where did the dead bodies go? Are they on those mobile WMD trucks that Saddam had drive to Syria?
Its very ironic the US is exhuming these graves in such Discovery Channel CSI painstaking detail. Yet the US is killing 200-300 insurgents a day in Fallujah. Doing the exact samething Saddam did to quell and uprising of people to take over the Iraqi government.
There is no difference between what Saddam did back then to what we do today. The reasons are the same only the uniform of the troops killing the insurgents has changed.
That and Saddam was able to keep the country together for decades under sanctions and constant bombardment from a superpower. No car bombs from locals and all this done on his foodstamp level of operations.
Yet all the kings horses and all the kings men can't put Iraq back together again.
Saddam 05!
