The CJR is a joke when it comes to accuracy.
I was outside the NY Times "Open Kimono" meeting where Howell Raines met the "newsroom" in a theater across the street from the NYT offices. I'm dressed as "Baghdad Bob". I've even got glasses (which Saddam didn't wear) and a BIG, I mean BIG, NEON GREEN "Hello, my name is...BAGHDAD BOB" nametag on. Yet the CJR chick (a blonde) had me as "Saddam Hussein". CJR is a joke.
Please note I did not find and post it. I was responding to and highlighting what another freeper had found. Whatever the merits of the source, it is indeed interesting that Tridish is quoted as saying he has someone over in Baghdad.
BTW, the Berg interview was supposedly done by one of Moore's crew (not Moore himself) at an Iraqi Business Conference on December 4, 2003. Since Salon said they were tipped off by someone not affiliated with Moore or his movie, and I highly doubt Berg's family would be the source, I'm guessing another attendee or a friend of Berg's is the one who tipped them off.
I have no idea why you felt the need to chastise me for that source, but whatever...
And Saddam did wear glasses occasionally.
Not defending the chick, just being accurate.
