I just read an article on Yahoo. The representative from the Vatican said that he felt compassion for Saddam and that he felt like he was treated like a cow because of the video footage shot showing him getting a medical exam which consisted of the examiner checking his hair and scalp and then checking in his mouth shortly after his capture.
The man tortured and killed untold thousands and had no compassion for any of them and, from what I've read so far, is still trying to rationalize what he did. It isn't like the video showed him being tortured or abused in any way. Could they be any more out of touch with reality as to think that is abusive or that they should feel sorry for him?
How about they focus on the true victims of this man's regime and save their pious remorse for those who deserve it?
