CAIRO, Egypt — Former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein feared catching AIDS or some other venereal disease during his U.S.-supervised captivity, according to excerpts of his prison writings published in a leading Arab newspaper Monday.

The London-based pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat published excerpts of what it described as Saddam's prison dairies which it said its correspondent obtained from U.S. authorities.

The U.S. military confirmed that pages of Saddam's writings have been released.

When the former Iraqi leader found out that his U.S. military guards were also using his laundry line to dry clothes, he wrote that he demanded they stop.

"I explained to them that they are young and they could have young people's diseases," Saddam wrote. "My main concern was to not catch a venereal disease, an HIV disease, in this place." He said that some of the soldiers ignored his request.

Oh, that makes sense. He wasn’t worried about getting a sexually transmitted disease from all of those women he raped, but he was worried about getting an std from a clothesline???

Obviously, he not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Like he was gonna live long enough for VD to be a problem.

Maybe he was just concerned about passing an infection on to a sex partner — like he was ever gonna have one again.

The world is well-rid of him, but you already knew that, unless you’re a Democrat.

Saddam knew what the REV Jeremiah Wright knew...The US gov't is the greatest purveyor of the AIDS virus around. He knew that his "chickens were coming home to roost" and that America was saying to him..."God Damn Saddam".

He probably overheard two of the American guards talking.

"Saddam says that he's hungry."
"F*ck him."

Technically, the Spanish caught the non-venereal yaws bacteria in South America, and brought it back to Europe.

The bacteria mutated to become syphilis probably because of European clothing providing a warm dark habitat unlike the [half] naked natives.
