""The first thing I was greeted by was approximately 200 makeshift coffins. They contain bags, each labelled, and there's human remains inside the bags.

"I wouldn't like to speculate, but the bones inside are obviously years old.

I just don't get it. What goes on in the minds of people who do something like this?

Why go to all the trouble of putting them in coffins and then not bury them? Wouldn't it have been a lot less time and work to just have cremated them? Take up a lot less room.

I guess they wanted people to see how they torture other humans.

I'm pretty sure it's due to something far less sinister. It's probably just a lack of organization and follow-through...in other words...managerial incompetence...like almost everything in the Arab world, and other third-world countries.

Don't know. Doesn't make sense.

I read an account the other day from an Iraqi man that had escaped.
He said that Saddam's soldiers had recently executed his wife.
Not only did they force him to pay for the bullet that killed her, they also made him pay to get her body back so he could bury her.

I guess this is Sa-damn Insane's version of a 'bank'.

These evil b*st*rds probably like to go in and admire their work from time to time.

Maybe they put them in the boxes in case their families would come and pay to take them to bury back home but when they didn't come or couldn't afford it, they just left them there.
