We have Gen. Georges Sada, Saddam's # 2 man, who testified before our "see no evil hear no evil" congresscritters and told them what they should have already figured out, that 56 flights of a gutted 707 and 747 were made from Iraq to Damascus all carrying WMD's,poisonous gas.

He wasn't his #2, and he's selling a book. While I don't doubt the story, I do doubt some of the details (like the above flights). I wouldn't hold this guy up as a litmus test.

It's hard to judge any of this without being on the scene yourself, which is near impossible. But, I know he was very high up in I believe Saddam's air force and rumors are he talked Saddam out of attacking Israel, which if true is a very gutsy thing to do. Short of giving him a polygraph, he did a lot of t.v. interviews, I heard many of them including an hour with Monica Crowley on WABC, he seemed like the real thing, maybe he fooled about a dozen or so journalists.

The fact that he's writing a book goes to solidify his claims rather than cast doubt over them. His publisher probably did at least a little due diligence and if he's lying, he won't sell any books.
