[11th Earl of Mar]

Why do you post excerpts from the article which don't back up your title claiming that Saddam killed eight million?

from the article...

The Committee’s view is that Saddam Hussein’s regime slaughtered 8 million people; in a country of 25 million that’s a pretty extreme estimate.

Why do you post excerpts from the article which don't back up your title claiming that Saddam killed eight million?

Newsweek is owned by the same company that owns the Washington Post. Free Republic rules prohibit full length postings from the Post and it's subsidiaries. The claim of 8 million Iraqis killed was made toward the end of the article.
