I never said Frisk was not credible, only that a story about a bunch of people surrounded by fedayeen, does not counter the Iraqi ex-pat claims that most want saddam gone.

Carl Prine does not work for Murdoch.

Arabs leaving their countries to fight in Iraq.

Tens of Palestinians to be precise. Still it says nothing about the Iraqi expatriots or their POV.

I have heard 1000 of these stories....

Segment 1,From WLS 890 Chicago

An Iraqi woman émigré now naturalized US citizen commenting on Saddam and the war.

Segment 2, from KVIL radio in Portland OR

Is a part of a discussion, between a Iraqi ex-patriot and a peace activist, whose organization is to "promote peace and justice in Iraq". The Iraqi asks the simple question, “How does leaving Saddam in power, promote peace and justice in Iraq?” He also answers the question regarding civilian casualties.

If it were one or two or even 10, I would be skeptical. If it were from one source, I would be skeptical. Here is the link...

This is a big file, which starts a short segment of music ("Independence Day" Sung by Martina McBride). The first segment starts at 1:36:40. The first segment is 2 minutes. The second segment follows after some commentary and starts at 1:40:35 . Total time is just under 6 minutes.

The activist never does answer the question.
