I will be interested to see Shepard's response. That is definitely not a right wing website, so he can have no complaint as to the source. Saddam is about as bad as they get. * * *

The dates are from Feb to Sep 1988. Hmmm... Wonder who was in power in the US then and how they reacted to this news! ;-)

"Some 100,000 Kurds, mostly men and boys, were trucked to remote sites and executed. Only seven are known to have escaped." What is most interesting about this, in todays context, is the absence of any mention of it by Bush or any of his supporters. The Human Rights Watch has a detailed report which they carried all over the world in trying to gain support for criminal charges against Saddam. They give the reasons they didn't gain such support but they seem weak for atrocities of such scope. The HRW folks also never found mass graves to support the number of 100,000. In my view, if these charges are really true, they are the most serious reason given to date for removing Saddam.... Just wonder why Bush hasn't used it considering the some of the more dubious claims he has made?? Here is the link to the HRW report: hrw.org
