Jimmy, Many of these stories are just like the stories told by the Kuwaitis after the invasion of their country by Iraq. In particular, I remember the story about how Iraqi soldiers had raided this hospital and had thrown babies out of incubators onto the ground. Then, a doctor who had resisted was dipped into a vat of acid until his arms and legs were melted off. There even was a photo of this atrocity floated around the world. The sad thing was though, these events never occured. It was just paranoia and rumor. It did however have the intended effect of helping cement support for a coalition army to invade Kuwait and remove Iraq under the UN authority. -John
