My point is simply this, if one wishes to to discuss human rights in Iraq, then discuss the entire picture, not one slice of it. Bogus argument, sorry. Flip it over. Mussolini made the trains run on time. Hitler loved dogs. Ted Bundy was good to his mother. So what? Depravity is depravity. It can't be sugar coated.

Would you agree with Senator Kennedy who said "the torture cells have been re-opened under new management, U.S. management"? (or words to that effect). My point is simply this, if one wishes to to discuss human rights in Iraq, then discuss the entire picture, not one slice of it. I believe the article I posted made that point clear. Sounds like Ted Kennedy made that point clear too. He wasn't saying that torture didn't exist in Iraq before we got there. He was just commenting how reprehensible it was that we were continuing the tradition. I think that the fact that our torture didn't reach the levels of Saddams' is kind of a pathetic argument.
