You are right to question the demonising of Saddam. When you look at the history, Saddam was a friend of the USA right up until he failed to vanquish Iran. It was the West that sold him the weapons that he used to murder the Kurds and he was still a friend of your administration afterwards. He thought he was still a friend when he was duped into invading Kuwait and gave Bush and Rumsfeld and all the other bright sparks the excuse to invade Iraq. People should try to look at the facts, not the propaganda.

NIE's main authors include three former State Department officials with previous reputations as "hyper-partisan anti-Bush officials," according to an intelligence source. They are Tom Fingar, formerly of the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research; Vann Van Diepen, the National Intelligence Officer for WMD; and Kenneth Brill, the former U.S. Ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
In any case, the real issue is not Iran's nuclear weapons program, but its nuclear program, period. As the NIE acknowledges, Iran continues to enrich uranium on an industrial scale--that is, build the capability to make the fuel for a potential bomb.

Saddam was a good man for his allies but a mass executioner when referred to by the Kurds.

None of them, but you forgot to mention that the US. supported Saddam before, during, and after the slaughter of the Kurds. It takes quite an effort to select fragments of history to support your views.

Excellent question ThorGirl. These liberal lemmings love to pick and choose the intel they use for their propaganda pieces.
