We read today how Iraqi's tongues were held by pliers, sliced off with box cutters and in one case given to Uday as a present and Wolf thinks any member of such a regime would have sympathy? I have read accounts of tongues being cut--right up to the day that we went in. I had not heard any stories today, in particular, and had not heard about the "given to Uday" part (though I'm not surprised).
Before Blitzer went to his Pentagon guy (who seemed to have Aziz in the correct perspective) and then Robertson, Wolf had a reporter in studio (I think his name is James Clancy) who said "to sit down for a half hour interview with Tariq Aziz was a breath of fresh air". Yes, that's what he said.
His reasoning was along the lines that Aziz's rhetoric was not as strident or something.

That's "Ceegar Guy"!
We fought over him on these threads the day Saddam's statue came down...note the statue is still standing behind him. This picture was taken right after the Marine tanks drove into our BagCam traffic circle.

Had you heard that story about what that MP yelled to Tony Blair?No, I hadn't.
I miss watching the House of Commons in action. I would go around the rest of the day saying "whilst" and "my right good friend". lol

That photo is from April 9. See the statue? It was about to come on down.
Yes, we've had the picture, but it needed posting again!
Thanks.

P.S:
I like to imagine a wanker human shield had just approached Ceegar Guy's tank and yelled "Go home, Yankee Bastards!".
And he laughs, flicking his cigar ashes in her face!

Some in the media (not all, some have proven to be of better stuff) sure are suckers for smooth talkers, aren't they.

That's "Ceegar Guy"! Oh, so THAT's ceegar guy! I saw some talk of him last week, but didn't catch the photo at that time. Sounds like there's some competition for him!

Brit also reporting that, on last night's World News with Peter Jennings, they were reporting on Allen Greenspan's prostate surgery.
But the chyron at the bottom of the screen said "Greenspan is hospitalized with an enlarged prostitute".
Andrea Mitchell, his wife, was reported to have said: "He should be so lucky".
LOL!

dang...I know my dad didn't get an enlarged prostitute when he had his prostate surgery.
Guess you gotta be rich and powerful for that perk, eh?
