#1 Nobody died under torture? At all? Hmmmm...

What doctor is going to admit to committing war crimes? Are journalists in a position to provide him with confidentiality? Sickening crimes like this are exactly why Saddam's helpers are being beaten and killed daily.

#2 ZF's right there is plenty of evidence that large numbers of doctors were involved in torture and punishment amputations - ears, tongues, and who knows what else. Of course he's not going to admit to it.

#3 As I mentioned over on Tim Blair's site, the left is trying to discredit the shredder story to give themselves an out. You see, if they can cast enough doubt on it, they'll be able to respond to any mention of Saddam's atrocities with "yeah, like the shredder?"

It's the same trick Holocaust-deniers play with the few false claims about Nazi practices during the Holocaust: "X didn't happen, so how do we know Y, Z, A, B, C, D... did?"

#4 So the Nazis didn't feed Jews to lions? What else are they falsely accused of?
I don't care about shredders as long as the Iraqis can see the mass graves.
Of course, as Saddam says, they were all thieves and criminals, right?
Which is just perfect for a man who robbed his country for decades and managed to cart away a billion dollars just on his last day.
