Need help with report **Seeking Articles and Websites with Saddam WMD and torture info)

[sonsofliberty2000]

Hello all,

I am in need of finding articles and websites about storys and reports of Saddam Hussein's tortures of Iraqis and others. i am also searching for as much proof as possible on his links to WMDs. The reason is a school report due Tuesday that I am currently working on finishing. The teacher has got into constant arguments over the validity of the US going into Iraq and, well basically guys I'll sum it up that she's a liberal (case in point, her current reading material is Shrub). So far all she is arguing is we have not found WMD and my point is that Saddam is a torturer of his own people and that alone should move her to want to free them. She hasn't been able to argue that plus I then tell her that the WMD programs were well in place and my report will establish that. I have alot but need more. The report is assigned at 1800 words but no limit. I'll need more words. So I am asking for as many articles and sites as you guys know. Thanks!

PS If anyone would like to read it after I'm done for validity before its turned in bump me and let me know.

Nick

Amnesty International's website has an abundance of documentation about human rights abuses in Iraq in the past several years. Try these:

Try this...

http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/iraq_wmd/Iraq_Oct_2002.htm

Even has a downloadable PDF CIA 'brief' on Iraq's WMD program.

This is Amnesty Int'l's lengthy report on Iraqi torture. It is well documented, unlike most of what you will find, which is anecdotal.

You might also want to read Jed Babbin's article at http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/comment-babbin031703.asp
It isn't about Saddam torturing people; it's about WHY torture is wrong for OUR side. May help you get across why WE are different than THEM.

There's an article on human shields that has a very interesting comment: http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=31710 regarding Saddam's son Udai and his unique use of an industrial plastic shredder.

Excerpt: "They were willing to see their homes demolished to gain their freedom from Saddam's bloody tyranny," Joseph said. "They convinced me that Saddam was a monster the likes of which the world had not seen since Stalin and Hitler. He and his sons are sick sadists. Their tales of slow torture and killing made me ill, such as people put in a huge shredder for plastic products, feet first so they could hear their screams as bodies got chewed up from foot to head."

You can find more on Ken Joseph (who made the statement above) and his trip to Iraq at: http://www.assyrianchristians.com/i_was_wrong_mar_26_03.htm

I should have mentioned that Ken Joseph is to be interviewed on Fox News tonight. You might get more information from the interview. Info at: http://www.assyrianchristians.com/fox_bigstory.htm
He was originally supposed to have been interviewed by Barbara Walters. Since the Walters interview was to have been an exclusive, I can only assume it was abandoned.

Completely by coincidence, I ran across a link to "Human Rights Watch" in another article. They have a search field and you can find more documented information on torture there. http://www.hrw.org/
