Dear god......he put children in a prison.

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

Do you have a link?

[biblewonk]

No wonder fewer and fewer people even care if he had and WMD. I'm surprised the French wrote this. Maybe they want to sell some wine and cheese in 03.

Even Scott Ritter said he wouldn't talk about the Iraqi children's prisons he'd seen, they were just too horrible. Little toddlers were sometimes arrested and put in them, as punishment to their familes.

[Use It Or Lose It]

It was not clear who had opened the doors of the prison.

It sure wasn't Martin Sheen or Susan Sarandon or Mike Farrell.

[LPStar]

I read before about child prisons where dissidents' children were held in captivity. This is probably one of them.

[San Jacinto]

This is the kind of crap tom daschle and his fellow RATS support. And I use the word "SUPPORT" on purpose. There is no other way to put it. When you oppose your country's going into battle and call it a "dismal failure of diplomacy" not to get french approval first, then you are SUPPORTING saddam hussein and his policies, including keeping children in prison. They are no longer just 'Rats to me. Henceforth, they are now scumRats.

[biblewonk]

Ritter refered to these prisons as dating services.

Does this mean what I think it means?

[CFW]

My God!!!!!!! He knew????

Words fail me.

[Smedley]

"The children had been imprisoned because they had not joined the youth branch of the Baath party," he alleged. "Some of these kids had been in there for five years."

Don't be stupid, be a smarty ...
Come and join the Baathist Party

[Dog]

Can someone please ping ATRW ping list.

[ambrose]

I deeply disappointed.

[ambrose]

I am deeply disappointed.

[ErnBatavia]

...Probably the source of his pogey bait.

[xJones]

That's true, and he's an immoral rat beneath contempt because of it. But he did say they were horrible.

[San Jacinto]

Scott Ritter told us about these kids prisons

He probably applied to work there. Perfect place. Lots of 13 year olds.

[rhombus]

Damn, there's GOT to be some video of this...

[EternalVigilance]

Heartfelt Joy

No Hollywood producer
That ever lived
Could ever reproduce such joy

No actor, no matter how fine
Could make their faces shine
Like these girls and boys

Though they've known fear
And darkness for years
For this moment in time
There are no more tears

As far as the Sarandon types are concerned.....if the Iraqi's didn't do anything to her personally, then it's none of our business what they do to their own citizens.
