We're going to find out more about these type of atrocities as the liberation progresses. Will the anti-war types be ashamed of themselves? No friggin' way.

Saddam Hussein's eldest son mercilessly beats girls as young as 12 on the soles of their feet if they refuse to sleep with him, Iraqi defectors said today.

Uday Hussein forces head teachers of schools in Baghdad's poorest districts to send pupils to his palace where he arranges dates with those he likes.

If the chosen girls annoy him in anyway they are dangled over a wooden beam held by his bodyguards and repeatedly hit with a wooden club, according to two former members of his inner circle who recently fled Iraq.

"He does it to a girl if she says she doesn't want to go out with him, or if she finds another boyfriend, or is late or reluctant," one defector told Vanity Fair magazine.

Twelve-years old. Too bad the reports are that we killed Odai instead of this scum. It's also being reported that we got "Chemical Ali". Damn, I wanted to try and execute that guy.

"Chemical Ali" earned his chilling nickname by using chemical weapons to suppress a Kurdish rebellion in northern Iraq in the late 1980s, killing thousands. Both Ramadan and Ibrahim are long-time advisors to Saddam. Along with Saddam himself, the two men were the only surviving plotters who carried out the coup that brought the Baath Party to power in 1968.

The three men did not appear in a videotape of Saddam Hussein meets with advisers released today. Also absent was Saddam's eldest son Odai. There are suspicions he also may have been killed.
