| 2008-03-09 | |
| BAGHDAD - Iraqi security forces have found a mass grave containing around 100 decomposed bodies in the restive province of Diyala, in one of the biggest such finds in several months, the US military said Saturday. The grave was found north of the town of Khalis in Diyala, northeast of Baghdad, and appeared to be of people killed several years ago, US military spokesman Major Winfield Danielson told AFP. ‘The bodies are decomposed to the point that they are just skeletol remains, indicating that they have been there for a long time,’ Danielson said. He said the grave was uncovered by Iraqi forces on Friday. ‘The site of the grave is still being investigated. The grave contains approximately 100 bodies,’ Danielson said. Human rights groups believe there are hundreds of mass graves in Iraq of people killed during the regime of deposed president Saddam Hussein.

| #1 Steve, Wouldn't do any good to have the NYT or WaPo or Guardian being on a tear about this since even Obama has said genocide is no reason to use US power to intervene. Newt's right - its going to take losing a city here to change the environment created by the defeatist left. |
