When Bush says those inevitable words tonight.....

"we're bringing democracy to the Iraqi people"...

remember these words -

The family presented its autopsy findings to an Iraqi judge. "He told us, 'You can't do anything to the coalition. What happened is history,'" Ashraf said.

Yesterday, as darkness fell around the scientist's home, the family showed some of their father's belongings returned from the jail - a few Red Cross letters, a bag of clothes and a framed photo.

But there also was the legacy of emotion - of a kind now common across Iraq, and swelling into a storm. "I won't allow myself to rest until I have got revenge for him," Rana said.

'I will always hate you people'

5. Bush, Cheney, Rumy- the lot of them, should be handed over to the

Iraqi people, arraigned, charged and held for Trial.

Rather than having them hate the American people for what Bush and his sanctimonious psycho administration has done.

6. LBJ

The words I'd love to hear tonight would be LBJs famous I will not seek nor will I accept my party's nomination for the presidency. The Bush presidency has been a disaster anhd if he had any love for the United States he'd resign.

7. A very important story.

Do you have time to edit your thread title to make it clear that there is a specific story linked? I'm afraid this story will be missed. Or maybe it's already been posted somewhere else on DU?

We need to gather as many of these stories as possible so that the NAMES and life stories of the victims are not lost. There is so much focus on the torture, and the murders in prison seem to be forgotten.

Thanks for the post.
