Ugh

Lileks covered this bit this morning. I wanted to find the story before I blogged it.

The Sydney Morning Herald reports on mas graves full of Kurdish children.

A MASS grave containing the remains of 200 Kurdish children has been discovered in the northern Iraqi province of Kirkuk, the Kurdish newspaper Taakhi reported today.

"Citizens discovered on May 30 a communal grave close to Debs, in Kirkuk. But this is different from other mass graves discovered since the fall of Saddam Hussein's terrorist regime because it contains the remains of 200 child victims of the repression of the Kurdish uprising" in 1991, the paper said.

So what is the US media leading with?

Mothra Farging Stewart.

I could scream, sometimes.

Go ahead. Tell me that the only important thing is that we "win the peace". Tell me that not finding WMDs invalidates the whole invasion. Better yet, tell the fathers of the victims that we've been uncovering - alive and dead, in dime lots and now in big pits in the ground.

I dare you.
