#2 C'mon guys! Don't start projecting all this Saddam stuff on the sewage treatment plant in Baghdad. Those little protozoa and rotofers are just doing a nasty job that has fallen upon their lot. Heh heh.....

#4 In fake news today, Hollywood spokesman Tim Robbins, after hearing of the release of 123 Iraqi prisoners by US Marines, fired off an e-mail to President Bush which says, "Dammit! Knock it off!"

Mr. Robbins was unavailable for comment.

#5 So, Murat, how's that indignation over the "American invasion" doing? Still going strong? I suppose those with your mind-set may come up with a way to infer the US put those people down there to subsist on scabbrous peelings. Saddam was/is a goddamned monster - I REPEAT: Nothing the US has done in Iraq or can conceivably do there will EVER EVER EVER compare to what Saddam and his regime have done to their own people. They were in his keeping, in his trust, and he slaughtered them.

#6 ...they were taken to the Saddam Hospital for treatment.

Need to do something about that name. It should be all but eliminated from Iraq over the next year. The only place it should be left is over a sewer treatment facility - "Saddam Personal Waste" Facility.

#7 I can imagine how these guys are feeling. More than all of you ever could.

#9 I lived on the economy my first tour in Germany, in the early 1970's. My landlady's husband was released from a SOVIET Prisoner of War camp in October, 1958, just two months before he died. Compare to the United States releasing all but political (I.E., NAZI) prisoners in 1945. Very few Americans know about that kind of SOVIET behavior. There is still considerable resentment in Germany against Russia and its many forms, just from such things as this.

#10 How many Germans ended up in the gulags after the disaster at Stalingrad? How many were never seen again?

#11 The Soviets actually turned Buchenwald into a concentration camp again, shortly after the Americans moved out of Thuringia. Some people went there twice.
