of the RCC, the Ba'th Party, the National Assembly, or the government, with
a view to mobilizing public opinion against the authorities, also became a

Taymour was the first-- and until recent Middle East Watch interviews the
only--known survivor of a mass execution during Anfal. He remains the only
eyewitness to the mass killing of women and children. His story has been
well documented
elsewhere, but it bears repeating here in its proper context.11

--oh my...sounds kind of amaterish compared to the Kurdish massacres by our
friends the Turks...in which case, this man Sodom deserves more military
aid, not a show trial.
