What about those kids in Iraqi jails? (ANOTHER LIE!!!!!!!!)
Advertisements [?]
Found this out through This modern world, which got it from Atrios, which got it from: http://www.nytimes.com/2003/07/06/weekinreview/06HICK.html

Every fuggin rethug justification for Iraq is crumbling. Another myth, another lie, more sheeple nodding their heads in approval.

Many children who have not returned have resorted to life on the streets, begging for food or money, or perhaps turning to drugs or prostitution.

For those who remain, the orphanage is the only home they know.
