Iraq Abduction

New York Times of 22 Jun 2006:

Hussein Lawyer Seized and Slain in Baghdad Raid
Saddam Hussein's trial on crimes against humanity was struck by new violence on Wednesday when a senior lawyer on his defense team was abducted, beaten and shot to death. The defense lawyer was the third to be killed since the trial began in October, and the 10th person associated with the court trying Mr. Hussein to be killed in the last 18 months.

According to his widow, the lawyer, Khamis al-Obeidi, 39, was asleep when at least 10 gunmen in civilian clothes stormed their home in the mostly Sunni Arab district of Slaikh at 7 a.m. and pulled him from bed within view of his three school-age children.

These stories are now so routine as to almost never be reported. This type violence kills maybe 1000 Iraqis per month. Let's see. Saddam killed maybe 1500 Iraqis per month. American 'liberation' only kills about 1000. Numbers prove Americans are a more righteous and moral people.

Witnesses said the killers had driven the lawyer five miles from his home to an area known as Hamidiya

Same city where Americans are also accused of murdering Iraqis.

Yeah, but we have to be there! We found some rusty old shells in the desert that could have been used to kill American families! That's why we're at war, saving these people.

Santorum needs to shut the hell up.

I can't speak to the whereabouts of WMD, but I concur that Santorum is an ass. I can't stand that guy!
