Cherry picking? Sorry, but the devil is in the details. Agree with www.husseininandterror.com about Abu Nigal... the worst of the worst - even the Palestinians had a bounty on his head for murdering a few of their officials.

Unfortunately, using him as a rational for invasion is questionable since he committed suicide, with four bullet wounds to the head, two months before the invasion. The Iraqi govt claims he entered Iraq illegally using a Yemeni passport... but who knows. Nevertheless, he was killed by the Iraqis... oops... committed suicide... before the invasion.

In a side note... how many people did Saddam kill? Well read this news just out:

"Making conservative assumptions, we think that about 100,000 excess deaths, or more have happened since the 2003 invasion of Iraq," said Les Roberts of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in a report published online by The Lancet medical journal.

Ah... but we got Saddam and the Iraqis are free!
