Gross. The worst part is that this probably qualifies as a "merciful" killing in Saddam's Gulag.

[MattinNJ]

Words escape me. Someone show this to those hollywood clowns.

[Yardstick]

We did the right thing.

[Frank_Discussion]

Ya got that right.

[Billthedrill]

One favor to ask - if Reuters does turn up some shredder pix - I don't wanna know...

[JoJo Gunn]

Garafalo would simply claim it doesn't exist.

[Travis McGee]

Saddam, Qusay and Uday were sadistic monsters on the level of Vlad the Impaler.

They sought out extremely cruel and horrible methods torture and murder in order to video tape the agony for their later sick "pleasure."

Paging the Hollywood Left: tell us again how evil America was to liberate this enslaved nation.

When beheadings, firing squads, gassings, torture, and starvation are available to you, why blow 'em up?

[My2Cents]

Garofalo knows best. We had no business interfering with the sovereignity of the Iraqi people in toppling their legitimate government.

[The Great Satan]

With material like this coming out of Iraq on a daily basis, plus every prospect of gas prices plunging below $1/gallon in a matter of months, the administration can afford to soft-pedal the WMD issue -- which is good, because once Saddam pops up, wherever we sent him, as he eventually will, the WMD thing leads to places we don't want to go. And they always knew that would be the case. You have to see the big picture to understand how it all fits together.

[blackdog]

The guy was pro-life. He had it coming.

[colorado tanker]

Sick.

I'd like somebody to confront Senator Graham with this on a Sunday show and ask him if he still wants to complain about what we did in Iraq.

[Lockbar]

Disgusting. The american "Hollyweirds" should be forced to go to Iraq and help dig up the mass graves with thier bare hands.

[My2Cents]

The left claims there was no connection between Saddam and terror groups. What they, in their amoral blindness, refuse to see is that Saddam's regime WAS a terror group.

[D-fendr]

Yeah, right.

Time to increase your meds again.

[rellimpank]

--and some of the left think that the worst thing that could happen to Iraq would be the arrival of missionaries sent by Franklin Graham--

[Marysecretary]

Well, maybe they had a busy day ahead of them and this was quick. May they all rot in hell.

[blackdog]

For two reasons.

First because you can.

Second it eliminates the need for digging a hole.

Even murderous, torturous, lunatics need to be efficient. There is nothing worse than executioners who lack creativity, technology, and efficiency.

OTOH, I'd rather become an instant cloud of gas and steam than have my tounge cut out or be buried alive.
