KUWAIT CITY, Sept. 6 (UPI) -- Iraqi Human Rights Minister Bakhtiar Amin Monday said 262 mass graves have been found in Iraq containing remains of people killed by the ousted Baath regime.
Speaking upon his arrival in Kuwait to attend a meeting of countries with missing people in Iraq, Amin said Iraq's security situation prevented the government from searching for more mass graves and identifying the bodies.
"We are working on uncovering all the crimes of the former Iraqi regime including mass graves, war crimes and crimes against humanity committed inside and outside Iraq," Amin said.
He said the information would help convict ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and his senior aides who will stand trial by a special Iraqi court.
He said the victims of Saddam's regime exceeded 1 million, but there was no accurate estimate.
Now with Iraq the Democrats (And John Kerry) say that Mass Graves is not enough reason to go to war..
hmmmm
When does the media intend to cover these mass graves?
How about CNN and MSNBC?
But,but I thought the War was a Mistake ???????
How many corpses had panties on their heads or dog leashes fashioned around their necks?
hmmmm, NOT. the left is a lie. Kosovo was a fraud. Iraq was not. But you knew that. :^)
My goof.. Article is not from Reuters, but UPI..
bump.. thanks for posting... good fodder for liberal smack downs...
How could that be? Michael Moore only showed happy Iraqis going to wedding in Iraq before Operation Iraqi Freedom.
..and people say there were never any WMDs.
Tell that to the families of the residents of these mass graves.
Truth to a Liberal, is like a crucifix to a vampire.
That's not true. The problem is, they were all found in Iraq.
The Kerry camp will be blaming the Swift Boat Vets for the mass graves in Iraq....(chuckle). This is just another of the many examples of lying hypocrisy and flip-flopping from this loser. Blame anything and everything on any opponent that speaks out against you...the elitist liberal Dems just cannot handle it.
ROFL. Facts are stupid things.
As Kerry would say, Who cares? Let the eat cake.
That's still not as bad as Bush removing Saddam w/o UN permission.
The Michael Moore, John Kerry koolaid drinkers (like my in-laws) will probably say Bush planted them...
Weren't the "mass graves" stories in Kosovo proven to be false?
Oops, never mind, I mis-read your post. Yes, there never were any mass graves in Kosovo. Thanks for posting this story. I'm sure it will get banner headlines in all our papers, and lead on the evening news--don't you think?
Let's double that amount.
