Saddam's regime was a very nasty one. But not to be confused with Al Qaeda, or with those who had attacked the USA at any time. (Though efforts were made by the US government to confuse them at part of the run-up to the war.)

Could you pass me some of what you've been smoking?

Embedded reporters with the U.S. Military showed the assorted PLO terrorist training bases and the suicide belts that was found in IRAQ.

I mentioned the Al Qaeda training base in Salman Paq IRAQ with the wingless fuselage of a Boeing 727 jet where terrorists were trained to hijack jets.

The terrorist Abu Nidal died or was killed in Baghdad, Iraq. If memory serves this was the leader of the thugs that hijacked the Achile Lauro ship on the high seas.

Saddam Hussein gifted families of Palestinian homicide bombers with $25,000.

How many bricks have to fall on your head before you understand that Iraq was a supporter of terrorism including Al Qaeda!

Saturday Al Qaeda decapitated Nick Berg from Philadelphia allegedly because of the abuse in the prison.

Al Qaeda decapitated Daniel Pearl just because he was Jewish.

These terrorists commit atrocity after atrocity, and the U.S. News Media will not show them, The News Media will not even replay the attacks on the twin towers where 3000+ INOCENT civilians were murdered!

My good friend Little Hawk alleged that I was swayed by propoganda.

Not so. There is PLENTY of propoganda in the news media to blame the western victims instead of the terrorists, then when Americans do something shameful and stupid; the news media is the first to blame the abusers.

The news media do their best to have Donald Rumsfeld step down, and do not ask for the woman brigadeer general (Kopenski (Not sure of the spelling)) that was in charge of the prison to even be punished!

I say investigate the matter of the prison, and the ones that are guilty, or ordered the shameful treatment should be punished (no matter how high it goes) but use logic and reason instead of blind emotion, and blame the ones that are really guilty!
