Laborers digging on a construction site in northern Iraq uncovered human skulls and bones on Tuesday, which interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi said were part of a mass grave believed to contain some 500 bodies. Allawi told Iraq's National Council in Baghdad that the grave was found near the city of Sulaimaniya in the autonomous Kurdish region in the northeast of the country, where Saddam Hussein's forces carried out atrocities in the late 1980s. "Today a mass grave was discovered in the city of Sulaimaniya, with the initial number of 500 martyrs," he said.

You just don't seem to get it, Rusty. I will lay it out for you and your readers:
the Kurds -- rebels against the peaceful Saddam Hussein, and in fact, not really people (it's equivalent to killing protozoa or Irish)
the prisoners at Abu Ghraib, and others that the American imperialists hold (along with some Polish imperialists) -- heroes all, our moral superiors actually
I plan on covering these differences in my new book, "Love Letters from Abu Ghraib." It will probably be mostly S&M, but that plays well.

How did you know? I bet it was my rampant anti-Semitism, poor spelling, and general themes of pie.

US soldiers have got to learn not to mistreat enemy killers by stripping them naked. The same thing they make Marines do on their 1st day of boot camp. Marines must learn terrorist, unwashed, raghead killers deserve better treatment that Marines.
