Televising Sadaam's medical exam - isn't that a violation of HIPPA rules?
They're suppose to be so strict about patient privacy.


Sorry, I couldn't resist that. :evilgrin:

1. And, isn't it a violation of the Geneva Convention?

Or would that be only if we dragged him through the street?

2. "He" Isn't A US Citizen
And why does that matter in the first place?

5. Because if any foreign nation arrested the squatter in the White House
and showed him in a less than flattering position, the gummint here would go apeshit. It matters.

4. It may well backfire on them too. Did anyone think Saddam
looked the omnipotent foe, that he has been made out to be? He looked broken, weary, old, and pathetic. Even if I'd not been antiwar before, I think I'd be wondering why THAT required the loss of so many American troops, innocent Iraqis and the loss of our future economic stability to wage war that will devastate the region for decades.
