Saddam pours gas down the throat of political opponents and then sets them on fire.

Saddam is a bad guy, alright. And we have a very good case to invade Iraq and kill him. But I always get uneasy when all the torture stories start appearing. We had them during Gulf one. We don't need them to justify what we are going to do.

Reminds me too much of the "German Soldiers are Killing Belgium babies by throwing them up and spearing them on the end of a bayonet" stories during WWI, that were used to inflame us and get us into WWI.
