Update on that poor Iraqi man who tried to defect to UNSCOM:

Times of London reporting that his relations in America (Iraq dissidents) have appealed to President Bush and Amnesty International to investigate the incident.

Quote:

Hans Blix, the chief UN inspector, appeared flummoxed when questioned about the case this week but said that he would consider raising it in his talks tomorrow in Baghdad.

He said the inspectors did not know the identity of the man pulled from the vehicle and were awaiting a report on the incident from the Iraqi authorities. The UN has not taken any other steps to ascertain whether the man might have been an Iraqi scientist or otherwise in possession of information he wanted to share with inspectors about Iraq’s secret weapons programmes.

“I’ve just talked to our security chief in Baghdad . . . and he said there was nothing in the booklet he seemed to be carrying,” Dr Blix said. He added that Iraqi scientists could find “more elegant ways” of approaching UN inspectors.

"More elegant ways"....WHY do we even listen to these black hearted idiots.

Oh well La-dee-da! I guess the poor man would had been told if you talk everybody you know dies should have approached the situation like this:

Would Be Defector: Mr. Iraqi minder, would you mind terribly if I were to speak with the UN inspectors?

MINDER: What do you have to tell them?

WBD: Information the UN inspectors have been asking for.

MINDER: Well, why didn't you say so? Let me introduce you to Mr. Blix.

WBD: So nice to meet you Mr. Blix, I have some information you might be interested in.

MR. BLIX: Thank you very much, and I so appreciate the elegant manner in which you contacted me.
