Karbala, 27 Dec. (AKI) - Police in the Shiite holy city of Karbala say they have uncovered a mass grave containing the remains of men, women and children. The gruesome find was made by workers digging a water pipeline. Local authorities say they believe the corpses are those of a hundred or more Shiites slaughtered just after the end of the first Gulf War, in reprisal for having staged an uprising against Saddam Hussein.
There are believed to be as many as 30,000 victims in the Shiite revolt. Since the overthrow of Saddam in April 2003, scores of mass graves have been found, mainly in the northern Kurdish areas or in the Shiite-inhjabited areas of southern Iraq.

And the Democrats want us to believe the world would be better off with Saddam still in power.

Digging is tough in Iraq, If you dont dig up bodies you might blow up when you dig up a weapons cache.

Naw, Ted Kennedy will just get up on the senate floor and say that Bush and Rumsfeld planted them there, and it's just another lie, after lie, after lie...
and continue to spew gas out of his big fat ugly pie hole.
