BAGHDAD (Reuters) - If Iraqis ever see Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) on trial, they want his former American allies shackled beside him.

"Saddam should not be the only one who is put on trial. The Americans backed him when he was killing Iraqis so they should be prosecuted," said Ali Mahdi, a builder.

"If the Americans escape justice they will face God's justice. They must be stoned in hell."

The United States continued to feel the backlash of its move to give Saddam prisoner of war status Tuesday as thousands of Iraqi protesters called for his execution.

6. Has anyone read any Gordon Thomas articles?

like this one http://www.earthchangestv.com/secure/2003_articles/0703_articles/0703_4articles/26spycatcher.htm

In a document obtained by the respected London-based International Currency Review, it was claimed that after a year long investigation, it had uncovered evidence "of the mobilization of trillions of dollars in 1989-91". The document names a number of banks it alleges were "supervised by the Bush Sr. White House" in the alleged transactions.

The banks identified in the document include the British Royal Family bankers, Coutts; Morgan Guaranty Trust and Chase Manhattan, New York; Banco Exterior de Espana, Spain; First International Bank of Denver in the United States.

"What will cause astonishment is the provenance of some of these compromising documents. For many months we considered carefully whether they could be forgeries, and whether it could be credible that an intelligence organization or a private gang of blackmailers and counterfeiters could replicate the precise behavior of an obsolescent IBM computer to produce output identical to those images shown with this analysis.

7. I saw this story earlier

It would be nice to compel Bush I and II, Clinton, and various other players to appear before a judge!

8. Rumsfeld and Bush I are whistling and rolling their eyes ...

... about now. I wonder what Bud McFarlane and Brent Scowcroft could contribute to this conversation. What about Cheney?
