ACF, I guess Staffi isn't there by accident. Keep in mind that he cannot afford to put a foot wrong with his relatives still exposed to the murderous Uday and Dad [and sidekicks]. I'm inclined to think that it was a visa mistake which was made inadvertently at the suggestion of the FBI so that he could be interrogated up close and personal under controlled USA conditions, rather than here in Hobbitville where hulking FBI agents in dark glasses and with wires out of their ears would look conspicous and would probably be arrested by the villagers. I take with a grain of salt your allegations: <For those around the world with misgivings about this upcoming action, let us remember that Iraq is a country whose law-enforcement personnel routinely torture children to death in front of their parents and where parents are not allowed to bury their dead (of natural causes) infants but must watch as their small bodies are tossed into Iraqi government freezers only to be removed and paraded around the streets of Baghdad at Saddam's pleasure > How many children have been tortured to death and where are their parents and relatives? I can imagine instances of that, but I doubt that it's a regular feature of Iraqi investigations of suspicious people. Neither do I believe that dead children are 'tossed' into Iraqi government freezers. Probably, as in NZ, the children are put in cold storage and parents are not allowed to have the bodies until investigators have completed their dissections and consideration of the possibility of foul play. This no doubt causes much complaint because Moslems apparently like to bury their dead before the sun goes down. And presumably before the end of the next day if they die at sundown or half an hour before. A lot of evidence can be concealed by quick burials. Nor does the Iraqi treatment of people have anything to do with the USA consideration of attack and replacement of Saddam. It's about oil, security for Israel, to remove a source of terrorist support and to reduce the prospects of a nuclear bomb arriving in the USA - as well as to get rid of some inhuman monsters. <Something that I think has not sunk in yet for the ROW is how the WTC attack really has changed everything. > Oh, I wouldn't say that. The ROW has a reasonable idea of the mood of the USA. Meanwhile hordes of people pick the bottom and dive in big time, celebrating Independence Day in the time-honoured way. Perhaps a mini Y2K celebration with hangover to come later. Mqurice
