Mass Graves Continue to Reveal Saddam's Policy of Genocide

U.S. investigators have exhumed the remains of 113 people -- all but five of them women, children or teenagers -- from a mass grave in southern Iraq that may hold at least 1,500 victims of Saddam Hussein's campaign against the Kurdish minority in the 1980s, U.S. and Iraqi officials said this week. - Washington Post

Remarkably, Saddam Hussein's sovereignty continues to be defended by the liberal elite and those who opine that supplanting one of the most notorious killers of our age is immoral.

"These were not combatants," said Gregg Nivala, a member of a U.S. team investigating crimes committed by Hussein's government and assisting the tribunal. "These were women and children." "They sprayed people with bullets so they fell back" into the graves, Iraq's human rights minister, Bakhtyar Amin, told reporters.

This is not the only mass grave that has been found - more than 300 have been unearthed across Iraq since U.S.-led forces overthrew Hussein in March 2003.
