THE POSSIBLE MUTILATION OF SADDAM HUSSEIN

Reports surfacing in UK media today that Saddam Hussein was stabbed several times after his execution.. The Hussein execution was botched as you may recall, but the new revelations are causing even more of a stir than the Malaki mess up with the public hanging. The allegations of the possible Saddam stab wounds comes from the head guard at the former president's tomb north of Baghdad, who was one of the people that helped bury the corpse. Talal Misrab says that six stab wounds existed on Saddam Hussein's corpse after the hanging. The Iraqi government is denying that any mutilation of Hussein's corpse took place post-hanging. Al-Maliki told the TIMES ONLINE last month that he regretted the way that the Saddam Hussein execution was carried out.. he told the TIMES, "There was no major violation apart from the chanting."

A horrid day of war

People mourn their relatives killed in a suicide bombing in Baghdad, Iraq, Friday, Feb. 1, 2008. A pair of female suicide bombers blew themselves up Friday in two Baghdad pet markets, killing at least 64 people and wounding dozens, police said. The attacks were the deadliest in the Iraqi capital since 30,000 more American forces flooded into the center of the country last spring.

Though one cannot expect terrorists to have standards, the news today from Iraq is no doubt shocking, disturbing, and sickening to humanity itself..

Al Qaida was able to convince mentally retarded women to become suicide bombers.. Down Syndrome now being exploited by terrorists..

More than 70 people died in Iraq when the handicapped women, unaware of what they were doing, walked into a crowded market in in Baghdad.

Militants turned disabled human beings into walking bombs.

Horrid, wretched news coming from Iraq today.. Hopefully not a new turning point. It's a low point beyond the stretch of imagination.. there is something more vicious in this than even kids being bombers in Vietnam..

These are the days that truly remind us all of the human struggle that is taking place before us.. No matter the opinion on Iraq, we must look at events like this and cry.

The day is snowed .. in Iraq..

It snowed in a lot of places today. But when it snowed in Baghdad, the world took notice.

Blamed on climate change.. global warming .. or just natural events, it raised eyebrows from continent to continent, and raised children's hopes. There was laughter in the streets of the war torn city.

A sign of hope amid violence and war.

This is the first time in memory--even for the elderly residents--that snowed has fallen in their city. Mountainous Kurdish areas off northern Iraq see snow. Baghdad doesn't. For 100 years?

TIME magazine is calling it a cold day in hell..

But there were snowball fights--at least a few from the little snow that stayed on the ground.

Some reporters were in awe..

Warmer temperatures expected for Iraq in coming days.

..So leave it with this. A father holding his son.
In snow.
In Iraq.
During war.
