"There was a machine designed for shredding plastic," the Iraqi told the group. "Men were dropped into it, and we were made to watch. Sometimes they went in head first and died quickly. Sometimes they went in feet first and died screaming. It was horrible. I saw 30 people die like this. Their remains would be placed in plastic bags and we were told they would be used as fish food ... On one occasion, I saw (Quesay a son of Saddam's) personally supervise these murders." (This story has also been on the radio.)

This business of shredding human beings - and of machine-gunning thousands of prisoners, of drilling holes in the hands of people, of chopping off the heads of dissenting women in the public square, of gassing thousands of Kurds to death and much, much more - deserves the attention of those who say they are on the side of decency and goodness in their opposition to America's war in Iraq.
