Let me tell you a story. One day in the early '80s,
Saddam orders a group of top ministers to report for a trip
to destination unknown. They load onto a bus
with blacked-out windows that slowly drives them
in circles around Baghdad. They arrive at a remote palace
outside of the city. The men are directed to put all belongings into envelopes marked with their names. They're made to wash with disinfectant, then forced to wait in silence for hours. Uh... wait a minute. For you to understand this, you have to know
what was happening at the time
