Where is Saddam?
Has anyone heard any recent news of Saddam? I think there are a lot of people who would like to hear about his (lack of) terrorist dealings, his business with Halliburton, and the good times with Rumsfeld.

Got him sealed up tighter than a drum, don't they?

1. They sure do !!
I often wonder the same thing !! Why don't we have him answering some BIG questions ? Why don't we have him answering ANY questions ?
You would think he could shed some light on the events of the last few years. But then again maybe this administration likes to keep their dirty little secrets in the dark. I wouldn't be surprised if the next time we hear about Saddam, it's to tell us he was found dead in his cell, an apparent suicide, or some such bullshit.

2. French lawyer says he’ll defend Saddam
Jacques Verges told Reuters in a telephone interview he had received a letter from Ali Barzan al-Tikriti, whose father Barzan al-Tikriti is Saddam’s half-brother, asking him to defend the former Iraqi dictator, captured by U.S. forces in December.

“We know very well that the Anglo-Americans armed Saddam Hussein, that the chemical weapons were sold by the allies,” Verges said in a telephone interview.

Sights on Rumsfeld
Washington helped Saddam obtain intelligence and military equipment and, according to a U.S. Centers for Disease Control document in the Senate record, Iraq also obtained from the United States biological agents that could have been turned into weapons. The United States was at the time supporting Iraq in its war against the old U.S. foe Iran, at a time when Saddam used chemical weapons against Iranian forces and Iraqi Kurds. Britain, France, Germany, Italy and the former Soviet Union also supplied Iraq with equipment, expertise and funding over the years. The West’s close military and commercial relationship with Saddam ended when Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990.
Verges singled out U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, a key advocate of last year’s U.S.-led war to oust Saddam, for his role 20 years ago as a special envoy of then-President Ronald Reagan.
He said that if a trial of Saddam took place, Rumsfeld would have to “take a seat next to the leader.” Verges decried U.S. treatment of Saddam since his capture and said he feared the former dictator could be killed before he had a chance to stand trial.

Bush wanted the photo-op, but not the truth.

For the life of me, I don't know why Hussein didn't produce a videotape detailing his life's associations with the CIA and Republican administrations.

Seems this would have been his ultimate insurance policy.

7. Hussein
I must be missing something here. I've been hearing this whole oil for food scheme has resulted in billions being hidden away in a French bank. The U.N. was suppose to be overseeing the oil for food. Why are billions in a french bank and thousands of Iraqi children starving? What are the French and U.N. hiding anyway?
