As reported in the U.K. Telegraph on Sunday, March 16, 2003:

To set an example, members of Saddam's security forces arrested a civil servant in the al-Hurriyya suburb of Baghdad on suspicion of preparing to leave the country. The unfortunate official was then tied to a pole in the street and passers-by were ordered to watch as his tongue was cut out and he was left to bleed to death.

Meanwhile, on KGW (Portland's "Number One Sunday News"), Kelly Love, backed up by visuals, said "Thousands rallied for peace in downtown Portland." That's a quote. The man described above has certainly found peace, so Love and her beloved "peace marchers" should be happy for him. Her report was dominated by these Portland demonstrators. It also showed (volunteer?) supporters of Hussein marching in Baghdad, carrying a large picture of the dictator. Perhaps ten seconds was devoted to those in Oregon who support getting rid of the Iraqi monster, Hussein. No mention was made of the most important, most dramatic news of the day.

The anti-Hussein marchers in Iraq.

Demonstrations were also reported to have taken place in Kirkuk, where an estimated crowd of 20,000 marched on the Ba'ath party's main administrative headquarters demanding Saddam's overthrow.

Miss Love is quite obviously unaware of the reasons why people would risk their lives to do such a dangerous thing......(snip)
