They are bones in wood boxes. They may either be recently repatriated from Iran to Iraq or going to be sent to Iran from Iraq. I've heard both statements. There are no "corpses" as such... "Al Jazeera television quoted an unnamed Iraqi official in Basra as saying the remains were those of Iraqi soldiers killed in the 1980-1988 war with Iran and recently repatriated by Tehran." On the other hand the scale of this slaughter defies belief: "U.S. Central Command earlier said more than 2,000 Iraqi soldiers were killed or wounded when coalition forces swept through Baghdad a day earlier on what was called a reconnaissance mission. " If it is true that is a shock and awe tactic to say the least. hmmm. it does say wounded also.. still... This report from Aljazeera gives more credence to Iraqi propaganda than they usually do: english.aljazeera.net Who knows what is happening there? "Like the Israelis are doing for almost 60 years." I don't see the Israelis doing that so much. American Jews seem most obsessed with the Holocaust. The Israelis know perhaps if they mention the holocaust they will have more effect on American Jewish opinion than if they appeal to Jewish nationalism (=Zionism). A lot of Israeli government PR is really bad... I always found it strange, American Jews are most obsessed with the holocaust and most likely to say they hate Germans (even German Americans!) and were furthest from the events.... German Jews like my father's family (he was born in 1916 in Germany) have quite different attitudes...
