========= Chemical Warhead found in Kirkuk =============
Chemical warhead at an Iraqi air base, marked with a green band,
the symbol for chemical weaponry. Trace amounts of a nerve agent was found
in two spots on the ~meter long warhead. The amounts could be consistent with
leakage from a chemically armed weapon. A 13-foot missile was found next
to it.
========= Baghdad =========
========= Possible Iraqis Buried Alive in Baghdad ============
In Baghdad, an underground tunnel is searched for prisoners still held
in sections under water by the egregious Iraqis. Iraqis beg for
quiet to listen for voices. This is ongoing now.
In Baghdad, freed Iraqis open a sealed vault at the Military Intelligence Ministry.
Unlike Americans whose FBI files to this day remain held by the Democrats and their agents,
the free Iraqis retrieved thousands of their own personal files.
In Baghdad, in prison, a drawing of a prisoner's family remains on a cell wall.
How many Iraqis had to die (and Coalition troops) because of CNN witholding info,
and Kofi and his Klowns being so inept and criminal?
In Baghdad, Marine and Army heroes found a huge cache of weapons.
========= Basra =========
========= Possible Iraqis Buried Alive in Basra ============

coming from secret tunnels under a Basra prison. The freed Shi'ite Muslims

when he was taken from the west of Basra.
========= Basra at the infamous 'White Lion' =========
In Basra at the infamous 'White Lion', the building that housed secret police and torture,
an Iraqi civilian -- FREED BY THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA --
looks through personal files. Saddam Hussein's Baath Party leaders
tortured, murdered and raped political prisoners there.
In Basra, at the infamous 'White Lion', freed Iraqis in shock and awe
enter the very, now empty, cells where they were interrogated and tortured
with beatings, mutilations, electric shocks and chemical baths.
In Basra, freed Iraqis discuss their past torture, rape,
and murder of their families, by, with, a Fedayeen
terrorist, probably from outside Iraq.
Some Fedayeen got away. They have American clothes from RI.
In Basra, some Fedayeen are taken by the Coalition.

In Basra, Iraq, heroes of the Commando Squadron and Royal Engineers
engineer the environment to be Saddam-free.
In Basra, Iraq, the Red Cross. Are they hiding weapons again?

by the tyrant Saddam, the Iraqis raided the local pharmacy.
In Basra, freed Iraqis take back assets from Saddam's "City Hall".
In Basra, these are the food sacks sequestered from the UN Oil for Food program
by tyrant dictator Saddam (who also conveniently received billions
from the Terrorist-in-Chief Kofi Annan). This sequestered food was retrieved by the
starving Iraqis [and is incorrectly called "looting" and "chaos"
by the ever-pejorative ultraleftist media].

In Basra, Iraq, on Saddam's private yacht, the 'Al Mansur'.

In Memory of the Prison Artist
"Locked within the tyrant's cell
Powerless to escape this hell
Stripped of all humanity
With no way out, no way to flee
The things I once thought somehow mattered
Now utterly worthless, illusion shattered
All I think of now are my children and wife
More important to me than my very life
My imprisonment has forced me to measure
To recognize my only treasure"
