Down in a hole

Rachel Lucas links to a story that she says people against this war should read. Yes, they should read it. I wonder what excuses they will come up with to make the Bad Reality Stuff go away then. Well. I'm sure they'll think of something. But I can't.

Andrea,

I'm surprised. All you have to do is read the comments sections of various blogs to KNOW what the responses'll be:

1. That's not why we went into Iraq. (Therefore, any side benefits don't count.)
2. Who put them there? We did (through Saddam, yaddayadda).
3. Just b/c Saddam was bad doesn't justify our killing lots of civvies (massacre, massacre).
4. How will those people feel, when they find out their heritage was looted?
5. Veeble wickle bop bop Bush Bush Bush! (Not sure if I translated that right.)

From this story, it seems that some prisoners were not released back when Saddam's government claimed to have released everyone (back in September?).

But of course CNN couldn't have reported on this, because it might have endangered someone somewhere...
