The "Saddam rips babies out of incubators" thing wasn't an urban legend. It was part of US-funded PR before Gulf War I. I think there's a useful distinction to be made between propaganda and "urban legend".

Edit: Correction, it was apparently Kuwaiti funded PR, although GHWB picked it up with relish. For a pretty official looking account: gulflink.osd.mil
