Red Cross visits Saddam: How nice for everyone

Red Cross Visits Saddam for First Time
This makes me furious!
When the Red Cross "mishandled" all those millions we gave to the 9/11 victims' families (and yes, I was one of them), it was bad enough, but now this.
Why couldn't the ICRC be bothered to visit all those thousands of prisoners Saddam put away during his years in power?
They musta been so busy...
And why is it the Red Cross (the Christian organization) and not the Red Crescent (their Muslim counterpart) that is going to all the trouble?
The ICRC knows full well that the U.S. is treating Saddam just fine: they made this empty gesture in a vain attempt to get some dirt on our "appalling mistreatment" of this thoroughly evil mass murderer.
As we used to say in the days of the Old West here in Texas: "Hanging's too good for him!"
