On Monday night, Tony Snow was talking about his interview with Aziz. Snow mentioned to Aziz that he heard that his son had been imprisoned. Aziz confirmed it and then added that the matter had since "been cleared up."

I wrote this on another thread. Thought I'd add it here.

I remember this written about Aziz by Christopher Hitchens (has always stayed with me):

"The son of deputy prime minister Tariq Aziz was sentenced to 22 years of imprisonment last year; he has since been released and rearrested and released again, partly no doubt to show who is in charge.... Saddam Hussein likes to use as envoys the men he has morally destroyed; men who are sick with fear and humiliation, and whose families are hostages."
