Iraqi Legal Calls for Trying Bush, Blair
Iraqi Legal Calls for Trying Bush, Blair

US President (sic) George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair should be tried as war criminals for their role in the heinous crimes and abuses, from the use of banned weapons, raping of Iraqi women to the stealing of the body parts of Iraqi resistance fighters, according to Iraqi legal experts.

During a conference held in the Iraqi capital Baghdad Tuesday, March 22, the legal activists broadcast a video tape showing the scale of destruction caused by US occupation forces during its massive offensive on the western Iraqi city of Fallujah.

Titled "War Crimes in Fallujah", hundreds of photos were shown, revealing Iraqi resistance fighters being killed and abused by US occupation soldiers.

The photos also showed that bodies of the slain Iraqi fighters underwent brutal surgeries by US soldiers to snatch their body parts.

2. letsee now - the American Indian lost "body parts" to the "conquerers"
.
.
.

so why not the Iraqis?

certainly isn't much of a stretch in my imagination

Tobacco pouches were made of certain body parts in the "wild west"

and didn't they collect ears offa the Vietnamese?

or was the Koreans

or both?

collecting body parts is NOT new for the US Military

history SAYS so!

3. Well, the invasion was driven by corporate greed - I would not put it past
...the grisly U.S. regime to carry out such insanity. Why would the Iraqis 'make this up' - there was enough to 'hang' on the U.S. - including 'Shock & Awe' and evidence of prisoner abuse - without needing to mention the 'organ harvesting.'

4. I never considered the organ harvesting angle
.
.
.

I was thinking more along the lines of the "trophies" (gawd I feel sick just typing that) some collect . .

I guess "harvesting" is another possibility -

SICK - but believable.

I fear more disgusting truths about Fallujah will emerge . .

later .

and too late . .

(sigh)
