7. Paul McGeough of The Sydney Morning Herald was on and he told
of the many witnesses he spoke to back up the claim. Allawi denies it, but some say Allawi did it to show the Iraqi people that he is tough like Saddam and hoped that the Iraqi people would respect his toughness.

10. Then he's sick like Saddam.
A buddy of mine's cousin was an engineer in the Iraqi oil fields, mid-80s. The stories he heard indicated Saddam would -- personally -- shoot four or five people a night. Every night. That's not just sociopathic or psychotic. That's demonic.

Now this new guy wants to be like Saddam? Makes sense. Bush's daddy helped assemble the first Iraqi monster.

11. There have been monsters in Iraq a loooooooong time.
First Europe, then America, seeking to dominate its decisions. That required a lot of violent suppression.

I could say that we taught them well, but the home of Babylon needs no instruction.

8. Anderson Cooper interviewed the
Australian journalist who interviewed 2 witnesses independently and believed the story to be true. He said 1 of the witnesses he found by chance and felt their info was credible due to body language, face to face instinct, etc. This is a well respected, award winning journalist who does not believe he was being set up as suggested by the corp. owned CNN.

They are trying to spin that this was a rumor, not factual, made up to intimidate the "insurgents" and would give Prime Minister Iyad Allawi a "reputation" for not putting up with "terrorists".
