"'There are a number of people who were killed, they are employees and
guards,' Minister Abd Dhiab told Reuters, adding that around 70 hostages
had been released out of around 150 staff and visitors originally seized by
men in police uniforms.


At least Hussein never lied - he just refused to answer.  But these
bastards lie when it suits them, just as they're now covering up the
civilian death toll.  I have to wonder what kind of government the USA has
replaced Hussein with - IMO, a _FAR_ worse one.
