UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Iraq's former defense minister, who surrendered to U.S. forces last week, was given "effective" immunity from prosecution, and the United States hopes he will provide significant information on Saddam Hussein's weapons activities, a senior U.S. official said on Wednesday.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters other "lower level guys who were technical functionaries in Iraq's weapons programs" were also given immunity and have been assisting former U.N. inspector David Kay in his eagerly awaited inquiry on Iraqi arms.

If you will not prosecute me, I will lie for you all day long.

3. WTF happened to "No bargaining with terrorists"!!!!!!!!

I though Bush & Co were firm that they would not offer anything short of allowing them to continue living in strict confinement. I guess Bush is hoping for some reciprocity from the world once he is brought up on war crimes - Maybe someone will give him a nice fat pension if he rolls-over on Cheney.

9. Yep... "The War on Terrorism" has ben lost!

By the very standards spelled out by the administration:

"Anyone who harbors or conducts business with a terrorist, is a terrorist."

What a sham. Just like the "The War on Drugs"...
