1. Hmmm, first, let me say that I am NOT defending Saddam in any way

but I have to ask . . the charge they refer to is as follows:

"Investigators have said that around 140 men were rounded up and killed by Saddam's security forces following the failed attack."

How is that different from what the US did to Fallujah following the killing of so-called security contractors (aka mercenaries)?

This will YOUR criminal court system within a decade if the * administration policies go unabated.
