1 sidebar stuff out of curiosity

I know Saddam took several thousands of Kuwaits prisoner in the first gulf war - one of the UN resolutions was to return or account for them.

The same thing occured with Iranian POWs (tens of thousands) held prisoner in camps 12 years after that war.

I know the British stumbled upon a camp in the south with warehouses filled with thousands of skeletal remains.

The newscoverage from Iraq not only is so biased - its incredibly minimal! I'm interested in side issues like this - what's been going on with reference to these "missing" thousands?

Hell! The History Channel makes a living focusing on the lil' details of the NAZIs 60 years after the fact! I'd like more details like this now.

4 You won't likely see it soon hondo, because the History channel, if not overtly liberal, generally tries to remainly cowardly neutral.
