Revenge Against the Baath

NPR's Nick Spicer in Baghdad reports on the growing number of murders of members of Saddam Hussein's Baath Party. The U.S. civil administration in Iraq has banned Baathists from key government posts. Many party members are in hiding or have fled into exile amid a campaign of revenge killings in the streets of the capital.
