Baghdad is a city that reeks with the stench of the dead
Baghdad is a city that reeks with the stench of the dead
By Robert Fisk

28 July 2004

The smell of the dead pours into the street through the air-conditioning ducts. Hot, sweet, overwhelming. Inside the Baghdad morgue, there are so many corpses that the fridges are overflowing. The dead are on the floor. Dozens of them. Outside, in the 46C (114F) heat, Qadum Ganawi tells me how his brother Hassan was murdered.

I saw an article somewhere recently that says there about 37,000 civilians dead now in Iraq?
