But people are already being needlessly slaughtered in Iraq--only not by Americans. And people will continue to be needlessly slaughtered if things aren't changed.

"'There was a machine designed for shredding plastic. Men were dropped into it and we were again made to watch. Sometimes they went in head first and died quickly. Sometimes they went in feet first and died screaming. It was horrible. I saw 30 people die like this. Their remains would be placed in plastic bags and we were told they would be used as fish food . . . on one occasion, I saw Qusay [President Saddam Hussein’s youngest son] personally supervise these murders.'

This is one of the many witness statements that were taken by researchers from Indict ... to provide evidence for legal cases against specific Iraqi individuals for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. This account was taken in the past two weeks."

Indict is chaired by Ann Clwyd, a Labour Member of the British Parliament, who wrote an article in the Times of London from which the above was taken.
