...Saddam, causing the death of an estimated 300,000 children, not to mention the brutal torture or murder of unnumbered Iraqi adults over the past 10 years...

After just watching Centcom and the reporters' repeated and rephrased questions about "how many civilian casualties?", this caught my eye.

Why is the media so intense on getting the counts, yet *facts* such as those described above routinely go unacknowledged?  The absence of truth "goes marching on"...
