Gee. However did Inspector Clouseau, Hans Blix, ever miss this as he and his hapless helpers trundled around Iraq?

From the Daily Mirror, who hired Peter Arnett when he was fired by MSNBC. I wonder if this is worth ending. Harry ---------------------------------------------------------------- HORRIFIC SECRETS OF SADDAM'S POLICE HQ Apr 2 2003 From Tom Newton Dunn With 40 Commando In Abu Al Khasib, Southern Iraq AS WE entered Abu Al Khasib's police station yesterday, there were at first no clues to betray what really went on inside. The row of empty offices had file upon file in Arabic that we, perhaps naively, put down to routine police records. Then, at the end of a corridor, we found the first cell. A damp, 8ft by 4ft hole with no natural or artificial light and just a soiled pillow and filthy blanket on the floor. It was one of six, some bigger, some even smaller, sealed by bolts from the outside attached to heavy metal cage doors. And all of them disgustingly filthy. In one, a meat hook hung from the ceiling, in another a thick line of hose pipe sat on the floor, with no water taps for it to attach to anywhere in sight. To the marines of 40 Commando and myself it was becoming abundantly clear the building in this captured suburb of Basra was, in fact, a house of torture used to inflict pain and suffering on possibly hundreds of civilians. Confirmation came in an upstairs room, the contents of which made us shudder. ------------------------------------------------------------- For the complete story : http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/allnews/page.cfm?objectid=12799461&method=full&; siteid=50143 If you have trouble getting the URL, I'll send the whole story. ****************************** Harry Pollard Henry George School of LA Box 655 Tujunga CA 91042 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: (818) 352-4141 Fax: (818) 353-2242 ******************************* _______________________________________________ Futurework mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://scribe.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework
