I provided you with a recent news article regarding the forensic work starting to identify the children, women and men found in mass graves. These innocent people were murdered during Saddam's reign of terror.

There is no need to spend further dollars on forensic testing to prove to the world that Saddam killed innocent people. We all know that. However that does not mean that US bombs and violence erupting from the presence of US soldiers in the civilian areas of Iraq are not killing innocent Iraqis. Similar to Saddam's killings, I don't think there is any need to prove specifically that innocent civilians are not being murdered today by US bombs.
