No commentary needed. Just compare the two versions of reality.
Version One:
Rep. Charles B. Rangel, New York Democrat, sharply criticized the killing of Saddam's two sons. "We have a law on the books that the United States should not be assassinating anybody," Mr. Rangel said Tuesday evening on the Fox News show "Hannity and Colmes."via the Washington Times
Presidential candidate Howard Dean, a staunch opponent of the US-led war against Iraq, shrugged off the deaths of Saddam Hussein's two sons yesterday, saying that ''the ends do not justify the means.'' He scolded Democratic rivals for backing the conflict.

Version Two:
A chief executioner to one of Saddam’s sons has revealed how he helped drag two victims into a cage to be devoured by lions.Posted by Alan at July 27, 2003 12:12 AMThe executioner said that he was ordered to seize two 19-year-old students and take them to a farm of Uday Hussein, Saddam’s oldest son who was killed by American forces last week.
As soon as they arrived the students were dragged to a cage containing the lions and forced inside. “I saw the head of the first student literally come off his body with the first bite,” he said. He then had to stand and watch the animals devour the two young men: “By the time they were finished there was little left but for the bones and bits and pieces of unwanted flesh.”
He was told later that the two young men “had competed with Uday where some young ladies were concerned”.
The 36-year-old executioner, who used the pseudonym of Abu Ahmad, also took part in mass beheadings on the orders of the sadistic Uday. In a single afternoon he supervised the decapitation of 36 people, including a pregnant woman.
He was so distressed at participating in the killing of an unborn child that he “wished for Allah to open up the ground and swallow everyone there including myself”. But he feared that if he disobeyed orders he too would be executed.
He was also involved in barbarous “pyramid” executions in which the victims were split down the middle. Using a special vice to hold the head, a swordsman split victims as they kneeled; another executioner carved the body into two, like a slaughterman in an abattoir.
