Just wanted to let everyone know that Public Radio (I heard it here in Pittsburgh) is now putting on a rather slanted news story about Saddam and his execution.

On the news on my Public radio station WQED, they told the story of his execution ....... the young boy who had a "hardscrabble", "impoverished" upbringing......blah, blah, blah.

It was all summed up basically to say that that is what made dear Saddam grow up to kill hundreds of thousands of people.

More of the same from Lefty Radio.

I agree that his dad . . . back to whom . . . Adam? . . . bears some responsibility, too.

But the idiot who acted out the mass murders was the one dangling.

I saw, maybe on the Historty Channel, a bio of Saddam and it said that he committed his first murder when he was ten years old.

Doesn't sound like dad was all to blame.
