This is what breaks my heart. I know an Iraqi family who waited a very long time before speaking of the horrendous pain and suffering they went through.

How protesters can hate President Bush more than they love humanity is beyond my comprehension. Even in the depths of my dislike for Bill Clinton, I realized that the Bosnians needed help.

The left is bankrupt Morally, Intellectually, and Ideologically.

Now THIS should be front page news, and lead the evening news. Who wants to bet that Petter Jennings and the NY Times will bypass this story?

Great article. I can't wait to see it published in AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE, or the BBC.

Hell, I'll save a copy when the NY Times and LA Times print this.

Oh well, they'll be so many stories like this when its over that even the twist Two Times will have to cover it.

Good article, though it really aggravates me that people have to experience these "blinding flashes of the obvious".

Sadly, even if this were written by Sean Penn, it would be DOA at the editor's desk of any mainstream media outlet.

Maybe it's a parody of what real news is like?

Here's a typical pinko-lefty response to this article: "So what if the Iraqis want to be free and end the torture? We'll kill more civilians with one Bunker buster bomb than will die by torture in a whole 24 hour period of time.

We can't invade every country that tortures and kills it's citizens. Why must we invade Iraq when every despot in the world disagrees with an invasion? Besides, there is no proof that Saddam has any WMDs...Sure he's handing out chem suits like there is no tomorrow, so what?!?!

P.S. Bush is Hitler."

Better late than never. I'm so glad Pastor Joseph is following through with his promise to his family. He can do much good because he was outspoken against the war, and has now actually SEEN what it is all about.

I have seen him on mainstream media programs, so many people have now heard his stories of what the Iraqi people have had to endure. I hope it will help change the minds of some who were mindlessly spouting the anit-war rhetoric, and fortify those who have been supporting this effort to oust the Butcher of Baghdad.

Simple math would destroy that guy's argument. Then again, all their "arguments" are easily resolved. They just never, ever admit it.

Maybe if we bring this story to the attention of Shepard Smith, Bill O'Reilly and/or Sean Hannity, we'll all get to see those tapes!!!

This is both heartbreaking and hopeful. I look forward to seeing those tapes. I look even more forward to those who have been defending Saddam (protesters and most democRATs) seeing them...and being unable to escape even more such stories coming out once Saddam's regime is toppled for once and for all. Then lets hear their hollow cries about how they are the advocates of human rights.
