"Under Saddam Hussein's regime women lack even the basic right to life. A 1990 decree allows male relatives to kill a female relative in the name of honour without punishment."

And where's that from? It could well be true, it's more or less the situation in Saudia Arabia, I believe, and elsewhere. But I remember the stories that were put about regarding the Iraqis throwing babies out of incubators, which were later shown to be unfounded propaganda. So give your sources, Teribus.
