Iraq to pay $400 million to Americans tortured by Saddam during the 90's
Edited on Sat Sep-11-10 08:01 AM by DrSteveB
Yahoo News, Sept. 9, 2010: "Iraq has quietly agreed to pay $400 million in claims to American citizens who say they were tortured or traumatized by Saddam Hussein’s regime after his 1990 invasion of Kuwait."

Meanwhile, victims of American torturers are getting $0.00.

Today Glenn Greenwald has a great article about this, titled, "America the exceptional" "http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2010/09/11/exceptionalism/index.html
