Hey, give it a few years. They'll be telling us that they were bath
houses and delousing chambers, and that Saddam's folks could not
have possibly killed that many people. The mass graves? Just a
convenient way of getting rid of all of the people killed by UN
sanctions. Then they'll point to Saddam's 99% wins in the
"elections," and tell us how popular he was.
We've seen *that* tactic before...
Cuts both ways. Remember all those stories about how Saddam used to feed
victims feet-first through an industrial shredder?
Actually, this is cutting the *same* way.
To quote Tim Blair:
"Obviously, interviewing anyone with first-hand -- or feet-first --
experience of the alleged shredder is impossible. For the sake of
argument, letąs assume that this person from northern Iraq was lying,
for whatever reason; we pro-liberation types now find ourselves in the
utterly humiliating position of having supported the removal of a tyrant
who tortured and killed tens of thousands of people (at least), but who
didnąt use a plastic shredder."
