My opinion still is that he is being threatened by Saddam Hussein. I'm guessing that the Iraqis grabbed this guy and showed him pictures of his wife, kids ect... and said that if he wants to see them alive to become a turncoat.

i was contemplating the very same thing. either his own family...or perhaps even some people he met (like some kids, with none of the implications that might be read into that because of the nature of this thread) while he was in iraq. But, i still don't like the guy trashing our country. Anyway, the whole turn of events for him, from his service to his country, to his apparent disservice to his country, is nothing less than tragic.

Maybe the Iraqi's didn't have to show him pics of his wife and kids. Maybe they only had to show him pics of him with some Iraqi "kids".
