I need help diggng in to mass graves.
Edited on Thu Jul-24-03 07:36 AM by styersc
I heard an NPR story this weekend that mentioned that we had uncovered 60 graves with a total of 3000 individuals. Right wing radio is spouting 80 graves with the individuals numbering in the "hundreds of thousands". Does anyone have a source for accurate information?

1. I've been looking myself. Can't find any graves that DON'T pre-date 1992..
National Propaganda Radio needs to do some research of its own, it seems.

I'd like to be wrong, but I can't find any sources validating hussein's alleged tortures and killings since 1992. Well, other than allegations by rumsfeld in 98. I don't think those count.

2. I haven't seen any evidence
to show 100,000's in mass graves in Iraq.

There was a big one (about 3000) in the southern part of Iraq from when Bu$h I abandoned the Sunnis when they tried to rise up against Saddam, and there were some in the North and along the Iranian border from the Iraq/Iran war.

Since I scan the international press everyday for stories for my 'Death Toll' thread, I would have noticed if they had found anything significant.
