Iraq's tortured children
By
John Sweeney
BBC correspondent in Iraq
The
star witness against the government of Iraq hobbled into
the room, her legs braced with clumsy metal callipers. "Anna"
had been tortured two years ago. She is now four years old.
Her
father, Ali, is a thick-set Iraqi who used to work for Saddam's
psychopathic son, Uday. Some time after the bungled assassination
of Uday, Ali fell under suspicion.
