Saddam threatens?

Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, now being grilled by American investigators, has reportedly warned US authorities that he will expose Washington’s “political games” and its behind-the-scene role in the occupation of Kuwait.

“Saddam threatened that if they continue to pressure him he will reveal startling facts — about America’s political games with his country — that would shock the whole world,” Al-Watan Arabic daily quoted a high-level European source as saying.

I wish it weren't so that everything reported is suspect. But, c'est la vie.

The article says the "source" of this information also said that Saddam still insists any chemical or nuclear programs were for civilian purposes only, that he "would ask the International Court of Justice in The Hague to try the United States for its crimes against the Iraqi people for allegedly using internationally prohibited weapons against the Iraqis during the last two wars against his country", and that he isn't praying or reading the Koran.

Okay. Whatever.

It can't have been a surprise to anyone that he might have stories to tell. And how on earth can we have any credible information of what he's saying when he's hidden somewhere being interrogated by the CIA? Who is providing the European source here with information?

Anyway, if it's true that he would "reveal startling facts - about America's political games with his country", it won't shock the whole world.

Whatever.

....do what you want....you will anyway.
