Gruesome Methods of Saddam's Madness

Posted April 28, 2003

By Timothy W. Maier

The Iraqi Ba'athists patterned their party and their regime on that of Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany. Insight has compiled a list of charges being made against the regime by many victims, human-rights groups and witnesses, and confirmed by records and confessions. They include the following:


Electric shock with electrodes connected to body parts.

Being forced to strip and sit on broken bottles or gas heaters.

Hanging from a rotating ceiling fan and being struck by pipes.

Burning with fire and branding with hot irons.

Burning hands or feet with a soldering iron or boiling oil.

Using a hammer to break noses and bones.

Ripping out fingernails, toenails and teeth.

Amputating limbs with a chain saw.

Burning rectum with boiling water.

Crucifixion by nailing ears and hands to cross.

Dumping live bodies in acid baths or ovens.

Attacks by wild dogs.

Nailing tongues to a wooden board.

Spraying eyes with insecticides.

Raping and hanging women while forcing children and husbands to watch.

Using hornets, wasps, spiders and scorpions to sting naked children while forcing parents to watch.

Using an electric carving knife to cut off penis or breast.
