Jesus.

He put kids in prison.

I am not surprised.

"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."

And amazingly reported by France Press.

It is Hillary's idea of the ideal village.

and Scott Ritter should be held on charges of Treason and crimes againsts humanity...

Question:
You've spoke about having seen the children's prisons in Iraq. Can you describe what you saw there?

Scott Ritter:
The prison in question is at the General Security Services headquarters, which was inspected by my team in Jan. 1998. It appeared to be a prison for children — toddlers up to pre-adolescents — whose only crime was to be the offspring of those who have spoken out politically against the regime of Saddam Hussein. It was a horrific scene. Actually I'm not going to describe what I saw there because what I saw was so horrible that it can be used by those who would want to promote war with Iraq, and right now I'm waging peace.

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.

" He put kids in prison."

These may have been the lucky ones. Exiles have reported that he gouged out the eyes of toddlers,in front of the parents,to get the parents to talk. I still can't forget the image of the woman's face that was shown at the Pentagon briefing two Saturdays ago.When the full horrors of this monster's regime are exposed-in tale and on videotape,we better have steel stomachs.It would not surprise me, if many in the top levels of the Bush administration, have seen some of the videotapes of Saddam's torture.

I am surprised. I knew to expect horror stories but not at this level. Why isn't this reported on CNN, Fox, MSNBC?

[Marysecretary]

Scott Ritter reported that he had seen children as little as a few months old in these prisons. How he could turn his back on all that sure is beyond me.

[Anamensis]

He put kids in prison.

Well, we make them go to public school for 12 years. ;^)

I'm thoroughly convinced these islamofacists are the ultimate in girly men. They imprison children, terrorize women, use women and children as human shields.

Yet, when confronted man to man, they run away like girly men or throw their arms in the air and surrender. They are maggots.....

A real man protects and cherishes his woman and children.

These men are lower than whale crap.

God help these men if women end up getting the vote and are recognized as equal under a western-style republic.

I'll guarantee you that this wasn't on Al-Jazeera.

He put kids in prison.

Yes, and he changed their birth dates so he could claim he locked up none younger than 11.
