Steve, can you imagine the outcry in any western country if another western head of state were responsible for 50 people who died during interrogation and another 50 executed for an assassination attempt, even IF they were ALL guilty?

Somehow, Middle Eastern despots just don't measure up to our low expectation of them.

I doubt there will be too many memos in Saddam's own handwriting, ordering his folks to be tortured and exectued. It's really amazing how lefties (like Kachi) try to diminish the monstrosity of Saddam's crimes by pasting the 20+ yr. old photo of Rumsfeld shaking Saddam's hand. My mild case of jock itch is more relevant to the discussion.
