BAGHDAD — "Please, please," the young Saudi appeals in a whisper, "don't turn me over to the Americans."
His face is charred and blistered. His head and arms are enveloped in gauze.
Each word seems to beget pain. His haunted eyes dart about, his only noticeable movements.
He is here to repent, under the stern guidance of an Iraqi intelligence agent. The setting is an anonymous office in the heavily barricaded Iraqi Interior Ministry.
So what does he think now of "Sheik" Osama bin Laden, the interrogator asks?
"He kills Muslims," the Saudi murmurs, his lips barely moving.
And Abu Musab Zarqawi?
"If they are all like this," he says of the Jordanian militant, "I want to take revenge on all of them."
So proceeds the extraordinary televised confession of Ahmed Abdullah Abdul-Rahman Alshai, a 20-year-old high school dropout from Saudi Arabia and one of many young volunteers from across the Arab world who have come to Iraq to wage jihad, or holy war.

Note this snide commentary (which is NOT reporting). If the administration doesn't give them a figure, they are damned. If they do attempt to give them an estimate, they are damned. Can't win with the libs in the press.
Let him have his wish. Turn him over the Kurds or the Shiites. :)
I hope Mssr Fleury was "debriefed" as thoroghly. Embedding reporters with terroists cant be limited to the French, how many other "journalists" have info about cells?
I should think this would make very effective propaganda. the wages of jihad, from the fool's mouth...
This kid is begging not to be turned over to the Americans from an office with blood on the carpet???
Yeah, sounds like the Abu Gahraib tapes have made an impression---they fear us more than the sadistic Arabs that would tear him from limb to limb if they got ahold of him now!!!!
All of this garbage about the mistreatment in Guantanamo Bay confuses me considering the reports that have showed that some of the younger Afghanis have said that they have it better there than in Afghanistan---
Anyway, re: this terrorist's story should be replayed over and over on the station that the US is running---just to hopefully get to some of the Iraqi youth that MIGHT think about joining the insurgency---
P.R.O.P.* PING!

Inform your friends, be the first on your block to know what's REALLY happening. To be added to, or removed from this list, Ping me!
Ping!
"Please don't turn me over to the Americans." Oh, boo-hoo.
In a way, the Moslem propaganda has done the US a favor. As it is exposed as the lie that it always was, the pathetic pee-pants cowardice of these mass-murdering Moslem a-holes will ruin them for all time.
Which is precisely what the objective should be.
This kid isn't sorry for what he did....he's only sorry he got caught. I say hand this young man over to living relatives of those he murdered.
The Iraqis have been doing quite a bit of this lately. Usually the guy breaks down and cries. They are all looking smaller and smaller to the Arab world.
I guess you could sum it up like this:
That is beautiful? I can't figure out who would be more offended by it though, the jihadi's or the American left.
Love the cartoon. Says it all.
And he's just one of thousands being indoctrinated in Saudi Arabia every day where the 'education' system is nothing but a recruitment drive for jihad.
He should be so lucky to be turned over to the Americans!
These monsters are not prisoners of war. They made a conscious choice to leave the relative comforts of their foreign homes to kill Iraqis, destroy hospitals, schools, infrastructure.
It is quite mistaken to even treat them as partisans, let alone soldiers.
I like the tagline, is it Alfred Hitchcock?
Yes. The full name wouldn't fit, so just the "AH".
He definitely could turn a phrase, as well as make a creepy movie.
