Soak in 50/50 vinegar/water for a few hours then scrub.
Soaking to long will cause pitting in the iron.

Not sure if it's the best thing to do but I had a buddy that had an old pot that rusted in the flood and he had it sandblasted and then reseasoned it. I do know it looks great.

I saw a poster mention the fact that those pots have been sitting in water with sewage in it! Is just reseasining good enough? Can the pots be saved after shite water?

All the food cooked on it would taste like shite water in my mind no matter how clean I got it.

Build you a good fire in the backyard, get a GOOD bed of coals going and bury your iron, the heat will cook off all the impurities. After, take a wire brush to it, the heat should have taken care of most of the rust. lastly, Crisco it and hang in the sun for a day, followed by a good cook in the oven.
The fire will leach most of the oil out of your iron also, its gonna take some beer, Crisco, bacon, and time; but you will get there!

If they were lodge pots less than 10 years old, I would probalby discard them and buy new ones. If they are family heirlooms, I would strip and reseason.
I'd strip them down to bare metal using either the oven cleaner method or electrolysis. Check out The Cast Iron Collector
The oven cleaner method is messy but works. The electolysis method is the easiest way, expecially if you have several pots to strip.

is a SOS brillo pad a no-no?

I doubt you could damage the cast iron with a brillo pad, but it will take a lot of scrubbing to get down to bare metal. You need to break down the old seasoning and rust with oven cleaner or by electrolysis, then scrub a bit with your brillo. I use bar keepers friend and a brass brush to get the stubborn spots.

Burn it with fire.
The suggestion on putting it in a fire is the right one. Rub with Crisco and cycle it through 2-3 times. It's how the pros of the AP taught me.
