5/17/2003: Mass grave grief



MS-NBC's week in pics had a bunch from this week's finding of mass graves in Iraq, from a 1991 Shiite uprising against Hussein. This was the most spell-binding of them because it shows so much. The strangely clear plastic bags that hold what little remains the graves cough up. The grief that can still go on after twelve years - put away somewhere, surely, buried, and now unearthed. It's frightening in how real it is.
