"IT WAS THE SAME FEELING I HAD WHEN I WENT TO DACHAU"

Mecham told of going to a part of the prison that Saddam Hussein used as death row.

“It was a run down prison, very surreal,” he said. “It was the same feeling I had when I went to Dachau. You could almost hear the voices of the people as you saw the Arabic writing on the walls.

The Arab translators told us it was emotional writings honoring the people who were being put to death wrongfully. Saddam took the life of about 300 Iraqis a day by hanging them.

The ‘Death Room’ had these huge rings welded to the ceiling. They had huge metal trap doors that would just clang after they opened. The whole prison could hear the doors clang open. If the people didn’t die, they would be dropped down to a floor below and then thrown into a room and gassed.

The Iraqis plan to make that part of the prison a memorial.”

This guy says it was immoral. The prison and the murders? No...stopping it.

Anti-war protesters did manage to make their voices heard. As Mr Bush was introduced to dignitaries, demonstrator Joe Gittings produced a loudhailer and heckled him until he was drowned out by the band playing the US national anthem.

Mr Gittings, 32, a physics PhD student, said: "This is a completely immoral and unjustified war that is already having disastrous consequences."

Disasterous consequences such as the estimated 60,000 not being killed by Saddam Hussein since he was toppled .

Bonus points to the British musicians who "drowned him out" by playing the Star Spangled Banner.
