Saddam and Speicher

From the Time.Com website:


"The interrogators also asked Saddam if he knew about the location of
Captain Scott Speicher, a U.S. pilot who went missing during the first Gulf
War. "No," replied the former Iraqi president, "we have never kept any
prisoners. I have never known what happened."

Whaddya think? Is he telling the truth?

Without applying the electrodes, you'll never really know.

Electrodes never really do the trick. Eventually, the person will say
whatever you want them to say just to stop the pain.

Speicher update
One of the first questions put to Saddam was whether he had any
information on the fate of U.S. Navy pilot Capt. Michael Scott
Speicher. The initial answer from the dictator was that he knew
nothing about the missing pilot, whose F-18 was shot down over Iraq on
the first night of the 1991 Persian Gulf war. Cindy Laquidara, a
lawyer representing Capt. Speicher's family, said the Pentagon
informed her Monday about Saddam's remark. "It was a preliminary
interview, cold, and I would not have expected any other answer than
that," she said. "[Saddam] was hardly going to admit to a war crime,
without even attempting to get something in return." Mrs. Laquidara
said the special group in Iraq that is searching for the pilot has
made some progress in getting information from Iraqis. She said she
believes that some of the Iraqis being held by coalition forces have
information about Capt. Speicher. The Navy initially listed Capt.
Speicher as killed in action but then changed his status twice, most
recently to missing in action, based on numerous intelligence reports
that Iraq was holding an American pilot in captivity.

The only liar involved here is Bu$h.

It is a shame we are such a civilized country when dealing with Saddam. He
must be viewing his incarceration with a little bit of relief. It is also a
shame the "Tiger of the Tigris" did not receive more than the "President Bush
sends his regards" from our amazing men and women on the ground.

On the contrary, I think it is remarkable that, in spite of our
imperfections, we are that civilized.

I think the shame lies in that there are so many profoundly misguided
individuals around the world who, whether due to their upbringing, society,
or whatever, are not able to see that and instead stand by their own view of
things.

I agree that he must presently feel some relief that he was captured by
Americans instead of his own countrymen...

Historically true, considering the number of Germans who travelled great
distances to surrender to the West instead of waiting where they were for
the Russians to arrive.



In the Hussein context, "President Bush sends his regards" might be a
polite way of saying "get used to the dirt"

We should Mussolini him. Now is fine.

The liberals are already going nuts because we didn't have a search
warrant nor did we knock properly on his spider hole. See the Boston
Globe for confirmation.
