When the British soldiers drove the Iraqi irregulars out of the hospital they were using for a staging area for their military efforts (near Basra), they found not only the weapons and ammo the paras were using, they found the chemical protection suits and gas masks they intended to use - and today they found the shallow graves of four of the American POWS. All four had been tortured and mutilated by the valiant "Iraqi freedom fighters."

The photos of the the hospital's torture chamber, where the metal bed springs and car batteries had been used, were shown to the world press. Perhaps they should also have shown the mutilated bodies of the men and women killed by the Iraqis. Probably would help their case.
