No, scratch that subject line. Liberals aren’t embarrassed about anything, ever.
Within the bowels of the New York Times, we find this quiet little story which should embarrass liberals in Canada, because if they had it their way, Saddam Hussein would still be in power in Iraq raping women, torturing people, cutting ears and limbs off citizens for no reason in particular (or for such things as losing an soccer match at the Olympic Games), killing citizens using chemicals and whips and gas and guns to the head, and forcing children to stand in a room watching their parents get raped and tortured and killed, or vice versa:
AGHDAD, Iraq, April 14 – Investigators have discovered several mass graves in southern Iraq that are believed to contain the bodies of people killed by Saddam Hussein’s government, including one estimated to hold 5,000 bodies, Iraqi officials say.
The graves, discovered over the past three months, have not yet been dug up because of the risks posed by the continuing insurgency and the lack of qualified forensic workers, said Bakhtiar Amin, Iraq’s interim human rights minister. But initial excavations have substantiated the accounts of witnesses to a number of massacres. If the estimated body counts prove correct, the new graves would be among the largest in the grim tally of mass killings that have gradually come to light since the fall of Mr. Hussein’s government two years ago. At least 290 grave sites containing the remains of some 300,000 people have been found since the American invasion two years ago, Iraqi officials say.
[…] In the aftermath of Mr. Hussein’s fall, thousands of Iraqis overran mass grave sites, digging for their relatives’ remains with backhoes, shovels, even their bare hands. A number of sites were looted, making identification of victims difficult, said Hanny Megally, Middle East director for the International Center for Transitional Justice.

Too bad he’s out of office isn’t it, liberals?
