The sub-heading of the NY Times article on Saddam Hussein's trial reads as follows:

"The first witness today described torture by Saddam Hussein's security police, including a human grinding machine." (I don't know how long this will be up on their home page so I copied the HTML from their site below - I'm not good at the screen shot thing).

There is no mention of the grinding machine in either the article or the link to excerpts from the trial. Perhaps, we the readers, are too delciate to handle such information?
