Pain: Saad's feet were beaten until they were twice their proper size. His hands were also given particular punishment

I'll be sharing this with some that do not understand what war on Hussien is really all about. As another poster has said "is about OIL........Operation Liberate Iraq"

Saad's experiences are the standard Arab stuff. The Spanish bastinado (beating the soles of the feet until the feet swell to the size of a football - and doing it again after a day or two, when the feet are exquisitely tender - and then again and again over a period of weeks or months) was learned from their Arab conquerors. Remember it took hundreds of years of fighting to force the Arab aggressors out of Spain.

The hands fastened together behind the back, then the body hoisted into the air by the bound hands, goes back before antiquity. Hanging from the hands from the front is also very old, and leads to death usually in a few hours.

Please be aware that many people living in the United States support the Saddam Hussain government, torture and all. Opposition to our invasion of Iraq means you are in favor of government as the Ba'athists practice it. When their time comes, these people here in the United States will torture you and yours as willingly as Saddam's henchmen torture Iraqis.

Because he wanted to paint pictures.
Because he didn't agree with his government.

And the Marxist so-called pacifists hate America??
