I told the Iraqi commander, Captain Baker, that it was important that Americans see this; he took me around the graves and showed more than I wanted to see. He said the people had been murdered by al Qaeda. I made video of him speaking, and of the horrible scene. The heat and stench were crushingly oppressive and broken only by the sounds of shovels as Iraqi soldiers kept digging.Our enemy thinks nothing of slaughtering entire villages--man and woman, child and beast. They crave the opportunity to do this to Elk Point, South Dakota or Mound City, Missouri. We fight them now, when they are weak, or we fight them later, when they may be much, much stronger.
