Someone on Fox said we should give him a break.

Ever since I read the piece by Eason Jordan about CNN's unethical behavior re Iraq, I cannot forget that he said that a previous Information Minister had no fingernails. I kind of feel for good ol' Baghdad Bob. He may have been just another one of Saddam's victims. He had been conditioned to get Saddam's propaganda out convincingly, or else.

Yes. Whatever happened to Saddam, whether he was killed, injured, hiding in a bunker or left the country, I bet Baghdad Bob and others were led to believe Saddam was in charge so that they would feel compelled to exercise bravado all the way through the war out of fear.

I've had this thought also. Take a reasonably intelligent, educated adult, then listen to the crap come out of his mouth. I wonder if someone was holding a gun to his family's head? I wouldn't be surprised...
