Let's address that in its primary components and see if you still think she was "right":

Iraq was one of the better countries in the ME as far as human rights are concerned...

Remember, women's rights were, in Liz's argument, a "particularly" positive example - the statement above is general. Please name for me the countries in the middle east to which Saddam's Iraq compares favorably on human rights in general.

...particularly for women...

Again, that they were equally lacking in basic human rights hardly supports the case that Liz was trying to make, which was that Iraqi women were better of under Saddam than liberated from him. Neither does your article support that case.

Tell me again how she was "right."
