And the Media Shall Yawn: Killing Field of Babies Unearthed in Kite-Flyin' Iraq

MichaelM "questions the timing":

A mass grave containing the bodies of children, babies and their mothers has been unearthed in Iraq.

Shocked investigators reported finding "thighbones the size of matchsticks" at what they believe is the site of one of Saddam Hussein's atrocities. Among the findings-were the skeletons of unborn babies and toddlers clutching toys.

A baby had been shot in the back of its head and was found still being clutched by its mother, who had been shot in the face. The discovery was reported as Tony Blair came under mounting pressure to apologise to Parliament for the misleading intelligence claiming Saddam had weapons of mass destruction.

...

One trench contains only women and children while another contains only men. "The youngest foetus we have was 18 to 20 foetal weeks," said a US investigating anthropologist. "Tiny bones, femurs - thighbones the size of a matchstick."

John Kerry immediately issued a patronizing statement that while he "respects" the opinion of those against mass-murder of post-natal fetuses, he cannot inject his religion into the debate and must afford Saddam Hussein his constitutional right to murder children.
