Has anyone here heard about the prison in Baghdad where they keep the 2 to 12 year old prisoners? I have heard some mention of it in various news reports but it has been over shadowed buy reports of people protesting about the possibility of a war that might possibly free the children in that prison.

I don't know if it is a prison that just detains the children of important people like nuclear scientists so they will keep their mouth shut and do as told or if it is a place where they actually torture the children of people that have done something wrong. It was originally disclosed by Scott Ritter the former weapons inspector when he was warning every one about how dangerous Sadam is. Now that he is accepting money from Iraq he won't talk about this prison.

I also have read about a person that escaped to northern Iraq whose daughter had been tortured in that prison. Her legs were crooked and she could hardly walk. Citizens of Baghdad would look at this little girl and do anything Saddam wanted them to do or say.

The same person also said Saddam was storing up all of the bodies of dead babies and keeping them in big walk in refrigerators so that if there is a war he can have them placed on the streets and so forth and claim they were killed by the Americans. He said he knew this because he was a cab driver and he had to transport some of the dead babies during a parade of dead babies. He said the stench was terrific because of the decomposed condition of the corpses.

Should we concern ourselves with the quality of life for the people living under Saddam Hussien brutal dictatorship or should we only concerned about preserving the quality of our own comfortable lives?

If we lived in Baghdad would we have the time to sit and discuss why war should be avoided? Would we have a computer and access? Would we be able to protest what our government is doing? Would we live through it?
