Look, Everyone! Saddam Killed People!

Today, AFP informs us that Iraq pleads for aid as mass graves reveal horrors of Saddam's regime.

What's missing from the story is any mention of the year in which the people in this grave were killed: 1987 to 1988.

Does the "Prevention of Genocide Act of 1988" ring any bells? Not surprising, since it was torpedoed by the objectively pro-Saddam wing of the GOP.

Yeah - I'm always amazed by the selective hearing exhibited by some members of the conservative crowd.
