If it existed and the evidence is that strong, where is the hardware?

It's getting on for a year since the prison was captured: where's the
shredder?

Show me some evidence. Not hearsay, not "some bloke said so but refused
to let us use his name". The shredder was named and shamed with an exact
location: yet it wasn't actually there.


We do have evidence, mainly credible witnesses, you just don't want to
accept it.


Who are these "credible witnesses"?

There is no reason to believe Indict is fabricating the story,
nor can I imagine why their witness would.


Because atrocity stories are good for publicity.

It also seems likely that the
shredder would have been destroyed when the coalition began it's advance
into Iraq, certainly that's what I would have done were I in Saddams place.


So where's the wreckage, or by "destroyed" do you mean "disintegrated"?
Again, with US tanks closing in, these Iraqis are notionally more
interested in destroying evidence than in escaping?

Of course there is a possibility the shredder didn't exist, but at this
point I think a fair person would acknowlege that is more likely than not
that it did.


A "fair person" would ask to see it, or at least for more than nameless
hearsay.

But as I already said, that doesn't mesh with your agenda so
you will continue to demand unreasonably high standards of proof.


I've got some prime farmland for sale and "credible witnesses" who are
sure there's oil, gold *and* diamonds to be had under it: want to buy?
