FoxNews showed a clip of a marine with a chisel and hammer. He was chipping off pieces of one of Saddam's downed statues and handed a piece to one of the other marines standing there. Looks like they are collecting souvenirs.

*** CHRONOLOGY OF SADDAM SIGHTINGS ***

1. In the Presidential Palace - we destroyed it
2. In a villa overlooking the Sea - we laughed about it
3. In Tikrit - we figured
4. In a 4-Star Restaurant in Baghdad neighborhood - we destroyed it
5. In a boat heading to Greece - we alerted the Coast Guard
6. In a Mosque - we sent Marines in to an ambush
7. In Syria - we believe it

This is becoming "Where's Waldo?"

That CNN bureau chief I mentioned above has written his story for the NY Times today. (I know...CNN and the NY Times? Sheesh!). But it's a compelling story of the atrocities he's seen by the Iraqi regime over many years, but couldn't report for concern that they would retaliate against the staff in Iraq.

For example, in the mid-1990's one of our Iraqi cameramen was abducted. For weeks he was beaten and subjected to electroshock torture in the basement of a secret police headquarters because he refused to confirm the government's ludicrous suspicion that I was the Central Intelligence Agency's Iraq station chief. CNN had been in Baghdad long enough to know that telling the world about the torture of one of its employees would almost certainly have gotten him killed and put his family and co-workers at grave risk.

He doen't say whether anyone in the US CNN knew of all this.

The truth is coming out.....NY TIMES OP ED
