I posted a letter by this Judge a week ago. Here is a follow-up Op-Ed from the New York Post. He says he was opposed to the invasion but now supports it. Based on this trip. Who knows. The evidence he offers could have been provided in his chambers in Louisiana. Looks to me as if we are in the presence of a White House media campaign.

Good for Judge Walter. These statements alone stand by themselves. How can anyone envision the mass grave for 1,200 children and not care? >>>>>>>>>>>>When we left in mid June, 57 mass graves had been found, one with the bodies of 1,200 children. There have been credible reports of murder, brutality and torture of hundreds of thousands of ordinary Iraqi citizens. There is poverty on a monumental scale and fear on a larger one. That fear is still palpable. I have seen the machines and places of torture. Terrible things happened with the knowledge, indeed with the participation, of Saddam, his family and the Ba'athist regime. Thousands suffered while we were messing about with France and Russia and Germany and the United Nations. Every one of them knew what was going on there, but France and the United Nations were making millions administering the Food-for-Oil program. I submit that just because we can't do everything doesn't mean that we should do nothing. We must have the moral courage to see this through, to do whatever it takes to secure responsible government for the Iraqi people. Having decided to topple Saddam, we cannot abandon those who trust us.
