Jailed Iraqi children run free as Marines roll into Baghdad suburbs
I know this will give me nightmares tonite.
Just to see how they were reacting, I went over to DU to see if this article was posted. It was and the discussion turned my stomach. There are no more uncaring, hateful people than those leftists. They all turned their noses up and proclaimed it a fabrication. After all, they reasoned, Saddam freed everyone from the prisons last year, so there couldn't be kid behind bars over there.
I don't know who is more execrable, the people who did this, or the ones who continue to ignore it.

Appeasement movement leader and former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark defended Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein on Friday, saying that reports of his brutality were part of a U.S.-backed disinformation campaign.Asked about an eyewitness account of the torture death of an Iraqi dissident who was put in a glass cage and eaten alive by dogs while Saddam and other top leaders watched, Clark told WLIE-NY radio's Mike Siegel, "That's the most absurd story I've heard in a long time."

The anti-war leader said that other accounts from Iraqi defectors who have described Saddam's brutality, as well as reports of terrorist training operations inside Iraq, were probably false.
"I've worked with problems of defection and informers for years and years and they're not generally reliable," Clark told WLIE. "You have to be careful about who you're talking to. I also recognize propaganda. And I hear more garbage and propaganda coming out about how evil the Iraqi people are."
