Why would they have left these remains in this warehouse for so long? Why not just dig a huge hole and bury everything?
The only reason I can come up with is that they would parade people through this death house from time to time as a reminder of what might happen to them if they don't stay in line.

It's worse - they have the pictures of these poor people right after they were executed. I hate to ask if Uday was involved, but he enjoyed seeing people die like this.

I am only speculating, but the meticulous record keeping hints of something Saddam's regime did in the 90's ... a pice of a 'lost loved one' would be removed from the corse and mailed out to the surviving family members if even a whiff of revolt arose; these remains are likely those of Shiia taken during uprisings against the Ba'athists and kept for intimate reminders to those allowed to live. Why else would the pictures and addresses be kept so meticulously? There was some reporting of this practice during the early nineties.

Why not just dig a huge hole and bury everything?I remember seeing satellite photos of mass graves in Kosovo, and Saddam knows he is being watched from orbit.
Perhaps this is why the bodies were stored, waiting for a road project so the Iraqis could "dig a huge hole" without arousing suspicion. I remember hearing of a medial strip in Baghdad, rumored to be full of the bodies of "subversives".
Stupid, I know---all that oil and no incinerators?

"... The only reason I can come up with is that they would parade people through this death house from time to time as a reminder of what might happen to them if they don't stay in line." Nevertheless, we should be parading the entire local community through this place like we did to the Germans near the death camps in WWII to show them what their glorious leader was doing.
I'm not a voyeur, but I had better see these unedited pictures in every Western newspaper to let the 'NO WAR ON IRAQ' people know why we're there.
The last thing the planet needs is another 50 years of Holocaust denial.
