Saddam Committed Heinous Crimes: So has the US

I write this post knowing that my friend's husband has just gotten back home from Iraq (and no, he did not re-enlist despite all the money offers) and he is suffering massive stomach problems now. When a 24yr old chugs from Mylanta/Pepto bottles 24 hrs a day (yet it does nothing to stop the incessant pains and swelling) something is not right. I do not mean him nor any other service member disrespect b/c these orders to torture came from the top: These criminal acts were ordered to be committed by our military by their superiors... not a few rogue troops. Just watch this CBC's The Fifth Estate report, "A Few Bad Apples" here in case you ever doubted this. This Canadian report makes 1 thing crystal clear: The US committed crimes in Iraq and we can't deny it. The Guardian UK nails the Bush LIES of "we don't torture/ we don't use white phosphorus": "We were told that the war with Iraq was necessary for 2 reasons. Saddam possessed biological/ chemical weapons and might 1 day use them against another nation. And the Iraqi people needed to be liberated from his oppressive regime. Saddam, facing a possible death sentence, is accused of mass murder, torture, false imprisonment and the use of chemical weapons. He is certainly guilty on all counts. So, it now seems, are those who overthrew him."
