Little Black Book

If you think of a "little black book", you're probably thinking of Hugh Hefner, Charlie Sheen, or even Heidi Fleiss. Would Saddam Hussein come to mind when thinking of the term little black book?

Well, if you didn't, you probably should. As Lorie Byrd at Wizbang notes, this is a book that the anti-war left should read and the right should read to reacquaint themselves with the horrors of Saddam Hussein's ruinous reign of terror on Iraq. It was sufficient to change the mind of this reader. Even if only half of what the book contains is true, it is more than sufficient to convince you that eliminating Saddam Hussein was the morally and ethically correct thing to do.

The Black Book of Saddam Hussein isn't widely available, and that's a shame, because it sounds like it should be required reading.

The Jawa Report provides English excerpts from the book, which is currently available only in French.
