More banal evil Every bit

More banal evil

Every bit of news from the field is suspect, perhaps, but, for what it's worth, here's the latest sign of grim goings-on in Saddam's Iraq.

It sounds like someone converted office space into a make-shift mass grave.

Over two hundred "makeshift coffins," stacked five deep; hundreds of "human remains" ("skulls and bundles of bone in strips of military uniform") in plastic bags; "catalogues of photographs of the dead, most of whom had died from gunshot wounds to the head"; a bullet-riddled firing yard with drainage ditch; cells with "what appeared to be metal hooks on racks hanging from the ceiling."
