From Reuters:
Saddam Giving Info on Weapons and Funds-Official Mon December 29, 2003 06:17 AM ET DUBAI (Reuters) - Saddam Hussein has given his U.S. captors information on hidden weapons and as much as $40 billion he may have seized while he was Iraq's president, an Iraqi official was quoted as saying on Monday. "Saddam has confessed the names of people he told to keep the money and he gave names of those who have information on equipment and weapons warehouses," Iyad Allawi, a member of the U.S.-appointed Iraqi Governing Council, told the London-based Asharq al-Awsat daily. "The Governing Council is searching for $40 billion worth of funds seized by Saddam when he was in power and which has been deposited in Switzerland, Japan, Germany and other countries under the names of fictitious companies," Allawi said. He said the council had asked international legal companies to track the money. Allawi said interrogators were now focusing on whether Saddam -- arrested by U.S. forces this month and held at an undisclosed site -- had any links to militant groups. "Interrogators are now focusing on the relationship between him and terrorist organizations and on funds paid to groups outside Iraq," Allawi told the newspaper. It is not clear whether Saddam was ever behind ambushes that have killed at least 211 U.S. soldiers since Washington declared major combat over on May 1. The capture of Saddam has not ended guerrilla activity in Iraq, which U.S. officials believe involves non-Iraqi militant Islamist guerrillas and Saddam loyalists. |

A member of the "U.S.-appointed Iraqi Governing Council." A statement from the puppets we installed to replace the dictator? We can't believe the Bush Administration, because it lies about everything important, but you believe statements made by a puppet appointed by the Bush Administration? And what kinds of "hidden weapons" are under discussion here? The ones we can't find? The ones we're planting? What? -- Email sent to is never read. |

All of which, most probably, means that none of this booty is in Iraq. Why did we have to capture Saddam to figure this out? Considering the source..... how much of this is truth? Allawi said interrogators were now focusing on whether Saddam -- arrested by U.S. forces this month and held at an undisclosed site -- had any links to militant groups. Whether? Whether?? I thought that this was a given. No. It's also been suggested that non-Iraqi's (under the control of groups linked to al Qaeda) have been behind the attacks...and I'd bet that that is the more likely scenario. It is not clear whether Saddam was ever behind ambushes that have killed at least 211 U.S. soldiers since Washington declared major combat over on May 1. How do you define behind? Geesh. Organizing, planning, financing, ordering, etc. I believe he was doing nothing more than financing the attacks. |

Syria. Before they're done interrogating Saddam, he'll be telling the inquisitors that the weapons are anywhere (and everywhere) they want them to be. Funny how we had to capture Saddam and subject him to sleep deprivation (admitted) and possibly other "techniques" just hoping against hope that he'll say someting to "unlie" all the bsWMD justifications we were fed this time last year. Even is SH never mumbles a word, how would we know? With no weapons to be found, Bush administration could announce that SH confessed to shipping them all to Ft. Lauderdale. |

There's nothing but a bunch of non-chad-punching Democrats over there anyhow. |

Why not believe it Harry,? You obviously believe every word of the crap you
dig up on partisan web sites when you google around to find the words that fit your thoughts and then insult every ones intelligence by posting it before the NG. Any one who puts more than a micro second of thought in crap from a partisan source needs a reality check. Remember, what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Then again, this comes from Reuters. What's their slant ? "Harry Krause" wrote in message ...
