Text of My Letter to Univ. of Missouri Re: Their Famous Alumna, "Mrs. Anthrax" of Saddam Govt.

Here is the text of my letter, just now, to the editor of the student newspaper "The Maneater" at the UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI, COLUMBIA

***********************

Dear Editor, The Maneater:

I have just read your reporter Mike de Salvo's story ("War Resistance Begins") about the recent "die-in" of students there at the university and had a few comments and some information to pass on.

I thought the demonstration was very realistic and shows us the horrors of war. I had a few suggestions to make these demonstrations even more powerful. Fortunately I found a connection who can probably help the students.

First I was not sure whether to address these comments within the context of your 'letter to the editor' forum or whether to contact the U of M Alumni Association.

You see, I have just located the whereabouts of a distinguished University of Missouri alumna that many of the student protestors may be interested in knowing and talking with her.

Her name is Dr. Huda Salih Mahdi Ammash and she is a U of M PhD graduate in the field of genetics and microbiology. She was just shown on TV and I wanted to pass her contact information on to the students.

She is currently working as a member of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Government of Saddam Hussein. Her nickname is "Mrs. Anthrax". She essentially presides over the weapons of mass destruction efforts of the Saddam Hussein Ba'athist regime in Baghdad. Her post is of "Professional Bureau and the Students and Youth Bureau for the RCC". She has excelled in her work.

Some of her efforts were directed toward civilians in Halabja, northern Iraq. I have some photographs of her work. Would you like to see them?

Perhaps these could be passed on to the students so they can more effectively re-create, in their street theatre, the effects of weapons of mass destruction and war on civilians.

I can obtain her contact information, but I believe unfortunately communication may be difficult to her government ministry in Baghdad.

I did, without any delay, want to bring these things up to the students there.

Sincerely, (nom de plum) "

Great letter!

Something tells me they still won't get it.

The brainwashed are a tough lot to turn.

[SavageRepublican]

Wow...great find.

I hope they publish your letter. The Maneater tends to be pretty one-sided (surprise surprise), but hopefully, this will give them pause.

Will get the word out here.

[SavageRepublican]

mega bump...tell as many people as you can about this.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Good job. I hope you sent it to the Tribune too.

[AmericanInTokyo]

It bounced back to me from the Student Paper, undelivered.

Any ideas?

Also, when I got the 'undelivered' I got pissed off, so I copied one of the local papers there in Columbia, MO.

[rface]

screw the ManEater, here's for the Columbia Daily Tribune. They usually take 3 weeks for letters to get published.....but I think this is worth contacting some local journalists re. this.

STOP THE PRESS!!!

This story is NOW on the local News Radio station....KFRU...

[AmericanInTokyo]

Please post a stream for Radio KFRU on this issue and the fire FR is starting in Columbia, MO, or at least synopsize if you can.

No doubt about it. We are going right into the belly of the beast here.

We are going to make one hell of a strike for freedom, exhaust the payload, before we break off to find another juicy target in America of our Patriotic Wrath.

Please give us a good "BDA" update afterwards, OK?

BaHAHA, an epistolary MOAB

Here's a link to the official MU News Bureau. Not sure if they'll want to hear what you have to say, but it's worth a shot. http://www.missouri.edu/~news/about.html

You might try the Missourian, as well. http://digmo.missouri.edu/

Completely off the subject, but can I just use this thread to say I hate The Maneater? I went to Stephens College, which is also in Columbia, and they have a history of trashing my school. I don't know why they do, the faculty and a lot of the students are superal liberal, you'd think they'd love us..

What link did you use to send your letter to the Maneater?

Actually, it's not my line (it's from the Maneater itself), but I couldn't resist the urge to say it!!!
