Let it drag in the photos of the gassed, the videos of torture, witnesses describing their experiences of the above, etc. Just let it all hang out. <BR/><BR/>Saddam and his minions are not going to get off, but a thorough recapping of their actions should be instructive for all.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02521739006999750126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1129792416439916282005-10-20T01:13:00.000-06:002005-10-20T01:13:00.000-06:00Well, that, and providing the most effective and b...Well, that, and providing the most effective and best defense the law allows.Sylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03069871911665125873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1129792173547925432005-10-20T01:09:00.000-06:002005-10-20T01:09:00.000-06:00As asked,and answered, on H&C tonite.
