Well... at least VP Cheney's whistle-stopping in the ME wasn't totally fruitless:

Iraq Invites U.S. to Discuss Pilot
Sun Mar 24,12:47 PM ET

By SAMEER N. YACOUB, Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD, Iraq
- Iraq said on Sunday it was ready to receive a U.S. delegation to discuss the fate of an American pilot shot down over Iraq during the 1991 Gulf War.

"Iraq is ready to receive any American team, accompanied by U.S. media, in order to discuss and document this issue under the supervision of the International Committee of the Red Cross," a Foreign Ministry spokesman said in a statement.

In Washington, Vice President Dick Cheney said on CBS' "Face the Nation" that he was unaware of the Iraqi offer, and would want to "see whether or not this is a serious proposition or whether Saddam Hussein is simply trying to change the subject."

Hi Len, if the picture in your file shows you, I have no doubt left that you are a nice guy, and even some of your posts beam into that direction, sometimes.
But I do not understand the animosity you have against Israel. This post of yours is interesting, and most of it is correct at least to a good extend. However, you are not morally entitled to accuse the Israelis to "assassinate people without trial", unless you call Bush and five sixth of the planet of doing the same treatment to Mr. Bin Laden and Co.

And you are smart enough to know what and why you are doing so. Can't fool me on that, as I have read you enough.

Thus I deserve an explanation, and if this picture is yours, publish one of you lady, I'd appreciate.
Ciao
