That's the number of "possible" mass graves thus far identified in Iraq. Just
a few thousand more reasons the world is a better, safer place without Saddam Hussein in charge of a country.
Investigators have conducted their first scientific exhumation of Iraq's "killing fields," discovering hundreds of bodies that they hope will help convict Saddam Hussein of crimes against humanity.
They say nine trenches in a dry, dusty riverbed at the Hatra site in northern Iraq contain at least 300 bodies, and possibly thousands, including unborn babies and toddlers still clutching toys.
[...] International organizations estimate more than 300,000 people died under Saddam's 24-year rule, and Iraq's Human Rights Ministry has identified 40 possible mass graves countrywide.
Not much more I can add to that.
