Don't know how this guy knows all of this, or if it is even true? I wouldn't doubt that it is. He forgot to mention Saddam's torture of preference methods of pouring gasoline down his victim's throats, waiting a few minutes to let it settle, then lighting it.
I find a lot of interesting information on this thread.
Are you SURE we should we should just give this, in your words, hobbled "someone" a pass?

<You understand that if you get caught up in the security machine you don't get to talk to a Monagasque type official. But instead, are beaten for hours, maybe even days before the talk even starts, you won't be allowed to piss or shit when you need to, and every day, for as long as it suits the whims of the person who took you off the street, this will continue. And, if they actually think you might know something, anything, they'll get serious and bring out the intimate electrical equipment, and of course, if you're sort of attractive you'll probably be raped for fun.
Then they might throw you in the back of that square mile prison compound and lose you. And your family won't be notified of your whereabouts or disposition. And you might well rot there for years.
This has been done to hundreds of thousands of Iraqis.
Moving up from the singular to the collective, you do realize if you are unfortunate enough to belong to the wrong ethnic group you may well be kicked out of your home, or killed in one of the general round ups, or gassed. Or driven across the border into another country which is not too happy about that and is not going to put you up even in a one star hotel?
Do you realize they take children from families, little children, and throw them in prison? To punish families, make sure they behave themselves is the object.
