IRAQ and a Hard Place

Raid Juhi, chief investigative judge for the Iraqi court now trying Mr. Hussein in another case, said during a visit here on Saturday that the court had documentary evidence, and statements from witnesses, showing that at least 100,000 Shiites, and possibly 180,000, died in the 1991 repression.

OBSERVATION:

"possibly 180,000"???? In a period of months? Give or take 80,000?

  1. Bernard-Henri Levy lives in Paris, and writes a lot of books: BARBARISM WITH A HUMAN FACE - Who Killed Daniel Pearl?

    WAR, EVIL, AND THE END OF HISTORY.

    I think he is about to publish his series published in The Atlantic (2005) on traveling in the footsteps of De Tocqueville.
