I can, as a matter of fact. The testimony on plastic (not paper) shredders was given under oath, among other things. http://politics.guardian.co.uk/interviews/comment/0,11660,982922,00.html >From _The Guardian_ no less. If you deny the evil of Saddam Hussein often enough, you can pretend the mass graves didn't exist? Something like that, I guess. I guess, in the best case scenario, he was a sadistic mass-murderer who used chemical weapons on innocent civilians, mass torture, and employed professional rapists as interrogators (actual identification cards exist with the profession listed as "Defiler of women's honor", but _didn't_ drop people feet-first into plastic shredders...except he did that too, of course. There is something profoundly twisted about this sort of thing. People _on this list_ are happy to proclaim that the elected leader of the world's oldest liberal democracy is a wannabe fascist on the slimmest of hallucinatory evidence. But sworn witness testimony about the depravity of a totalitarian dictatorship is "propaganda".
