This is the most disgusting thing I have ever read. The pro-Saddam left should be held accountable for their tacit support of this ruthless dictator.

I'm right there with you. This is just the tip of the iceberg. As the people of Iraq gradually become liberated, there will be tales of atrocities just as bad as this. We will hear how young daughters of government officials were drugged and raped and then videotaped so that Saddam could "blackmail" them. We will hear of how Saddam slaughtered the families of people who were accused of "making jokes" about Saddam and even those who heard the jokes but didn't report it to the "proper authorities." We will hear of accused dissenters of the regime being literally bathed in acid and subjected to other horrible methods of torture. We already know how Saddam gassed 100,000 Kurds in northern Iraq (Kurds say it was closer to 200,000). The Kurds in the north and the Shi'tes in the south were saved from extermination after Gulf War I only by our no-fly zones in those areas.

One would think that the anti-American left would put their hatred for President Bush aside and join us in our war against this brutal regime. After all, they proclaim themselves to be such humanitarians and all. But no, they have decided to side with the dicatator Saddam Hussein. They would rather see the Iraqi civilians continue to be raped, tortured and murdered than to see President Bush get (in their minds) a political "boost" from a successful war effort to free these people.
