Cardinal condemns US video footage
Cardinal Renato Martino, head of the Vatican’s Justice and Peace department and a former papal envoy to the United Nations, said it would be “illusory” to think the arrest of the former Iraqi president would heal all the damage caused by a war which the Holy See opposed.
“I felt pity to see this man destroyed, (the military) looking at his teeth as if he were a cow. They could have spared us these pictures,” he said.
