Res ipse loquitor.

Anyway, I've enjoyed our chat. You seem much more rational than the outright US and Israel haters here.

Have you seen this from today's news? You said Saddam was not that bad.

Meanwhile, the coalition director for human rights said the investigation of a newly uncovered mass grave outside Mosul in northern Iraq had been delayed for several weeks until more forensic teams arrive.

The 101st Airborne first discovered the site near the village of Al Hatra last week and several remains were taken away by forensic experts. The site was covered up until assessment teams could excavate it properly, Sandy Hodgkinson said.

``We don't have all the facts yet,'' she said. But initial discussions revealed that the grave held the remains of women and children, all with bullet holes in their heads, many shot from above.

``That generally means they were either kneeling or already in the pit when they were shot,'' she said.

Residents said there were 4,000 to 5,000 bodies in that region, Hodgkinson said.

Associated Press reporter Bassem Mroue contributed to this report from Hilla.
