Dujail: Now they tell us
Newsweek's Christopher Dickey was on CNN this morning, helping make the case for U.S. aggression against Iran. In the course of his segment, he reminded the audience that Prime Minister Maliki's Dawa Party was for years considered an Iranian-backed terrorist organization. Oh, you mean the same Dawa Party who attempted to kill the leader of their country back in Dujail, the crime for which the punishment (148 members or alleged members of that "terrorist organization" executed after trial) caused Saddam Hussein to be hanged? Funny how we never heard about how the Dawa Party was a "terrorist organization" (or even very little about the connection of the Dawa Party to the Dujail assassination attempt) during the trial and before the execution of Saddam Hussein.
George Bush, are you paying attention?
