I always like Jesse Ventura a good bit, despite all. That's a great story, and gives me great respect for Jesse even if nothing came of the remark. Now, if I could confirm that he has seen to it that his wishes were carried out as best as could be done, each year during his term, I'd REALLY like him. Dan B

THEY'RRRE BAAACCKK, MSI, You never did think they'd really go away. Now, the Office of Strategic Influence is being reincarnated as.......taa daa........drum roll please...."the Office of Global Communications, whose existence will not be formally announced until next month." Come again? Orwell is so proud of this Bush team. They're remarkable for the chutzpah they display. And the money they waste paying off their bribery/crony/partners at Faux News and the other disinformation outlets. Here's the article: timesonline.co.uk America plans PR blitz on Saddam From Tim Reid in Washington THE Bush Administration is to launch a multimillion-dollar PR blitz against Saddam Hussein, using advertising techniques to persuade crucial target groups that the Iraqi leader must be ousted. The campaign will consist of dossiers of evidence detailing Saddam’s breaches of UN resolutions, and will be launched this week at American and foreign audiences, particularly in Arab nations sceptical of US policy in the region. The White House is aware that it lacks substantial new intelligence on Saddam’s nuclear programme or evidence directly linking Baghdad to the September 11 attacks. But it will build on the contents of President’s Bush’s speech made to the UN General Assembly last week, in which he listed Saddam’s violations of UN resolutions. The campaign, which will initially receive over $200 million (£130 million), will be overseen by the Office of Global Communications, whose existence will not be formally announced until next month.
