TIME interviewer: You've spoke about having seen the children's prisons in Iraq. Can you describe what you saw there?



Ritter: The prison in question is at the General Security Services headquarters, which was inspected by my team in Jan. 1998. It appeared to be a prison for children — toddlers up to pre-adolescents — whose only crime was to be the offspring of those who have spoken out politically against the regime of Saddam Hussein.

It was a horrific scene. Actually I'm not going to describe what I saw there because what I saw was so horrible that it can be used by those who would want to promote war with Iraq, and right now I'm waging peace.



Compare this to the current constant stream of articles and photos about children who are war casualties.

Do I have to draw a picture?
