[Time] 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 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.
Remember CNN?
