Inscriptions at the entrance of an Assyria temple at Nimrud dates from the
8th century B. C.  One of the inscriptions purporting to be by King
Assur-Nasir-Pal claims that this king captured the city of Damdamusa and
killed 600 of their warriors, burned 3,000 captives with fire, and did not
leave a single one of the inhabitants alive.  He took Hulai, their governor,
flayed him, and then spread his skin upon the wall of the city.

Now here is a question for Randy Bronson.  If this is a historically
accurate report of what happen, was Assur-Nasir-Pal's conduct objective immoral?
