The recordings played at Monday’s trial session, seemingly eliminating any doubt about Mr. Hussein’s role in the attacks on the Kurds, may go a long way to answering criticism of the government for executing him before he was judged for the worst of his crimes.

American justice department lawyers, who have done much of the behind-the-scenes work in sifting tons of documents and other evidence gathered after the invasion of 2003, had never hinted that they held the trump card, judicially and historically, that the audio recordings seem likely to be.

1. ... and have they found the receipts yet ...

... from Rummy and Cheney's companies, for the purchases of the chemicals Saddam et al used on the Kurds?

I'm sure they're in that pile of stuff, somewhere.

5. Whatever happened to that $500Million in US $100 bills

that were baled up, that the troops found? Hmm ...

edited to add:

Bet all the bills were printed after 1991, and have Cheney's fingerprints all over them ...

2. Well that's some INTERESTING timing, isn't it? nm

4. My exact thought....

the recordings come out after the criticism from around the world, regarding the execution. Everything Bush does is politically motivated. What is the difference of killing the Kurds with gas or the Iraqis with bombs, either way is evil.

3. it's all ok then...

glad we were able to rationalize that bit of nastiness and clear the national conscience...
