3. re: ship, jet, chopper...

A (very Republican) co-worker's son was on one of the ships with the Abraham Lincoln. They were a lot closer to shore and were ordered back out to sea to facilitate the jet landing. This coming from a man who believes we should "just attack Iran and get it over with". Hmmmm.

[louis-t]

4. By the way

What is the "purple people eater" woodchipper you refer to?

[signmike]

6. Uday and/or Husay (sp) were supposedly feeding people into

a plastic shredder, live and feet first.

I guess they were drinking the blood of babies, too, and had NO intention of throwing flowers to the troops. The bastards.

[LynnTheDem]

8. The New Millenium's "incubator babies" lie, lol. The lie was about

Hussein and his kids personally -PERSONALLY, mind you!- wandering the streets of Iraq (never mind the 56-odd NGOs that were there the entire time like HRW, AI, ICRC, UNICEF et al and one woulda thunk they'd have noticed this were it true) with a woodchipper to woodchip Iraqis in.

And not just that! Noooo. Hussein would drop them into the woodchipper FEET FIRST to prolong the agony!

Bogus.

Bullcarp.

LIE.

So I call it the "purple plastic people shredder". :D

12. The Missing People-Shredder

The horror of one of Saddam's execution methods made a powerful pro-war rallying cry - but the evidence suggests it never existed

Forget the no-show of Saddam Hussein's WMD. Ask instead what happened to Saddam's "people shredder", into which his son Qusay reportedly fed opponents of the Ba'athist regime.
Ann Clwyd, the Labour MP who chairs Indict, a group that has been campaigning since 1996 for an international criminal tribunal to try the Ba'athists, wrote of the shredder in the Times on March 18 last year - the day of the Iraq debate in the House of Commons and three days before the start of the war. Clwyd described an Iraqi's claims that male prisoners were dropped into a machine "designed for shredding plastic", before their minced remains were "placed in plastic bags" so they could later be used as "fish food".

An Iraqi who worked as a doctor in the hospital attached to Abu Ghraib prison tells me there was no shredding machine in the prison. The Iraqi, who wishes to remain anonymous, describes the prison as "horrific". Part of his job was to attend to those who had been executed. Did he ever attend to, or hear of, prisoners who had been shredded? "No." Did any of the other doctors at Abu Ghraib speak of a shredding machine used to execute prisoners? "No, never. As far as I know hanging was the only form of execution used there."

Clwyd insists that corroboration of the shredder story came when she was shown a dossier by a reporter from Fox TV. On June 18, Clwyd wrote a second article for the Times, citing a "record book" from Abu Ghraib, which described one of the methods of execution as "mincing". Can she say who compiled this book? "No, I can't." Where is it now? "I don't know." What was the name of the Fox reporter who showed it to her? "I have no idea." Did Clwyd read the entire thing? "No, it was in Arabic! I only saw it briefly." Curiously, there is no mention of the book or of "mincing" as a method of execution on the Fox News website, nor does its foreign editor recall it.

Other groups have no recorded accounts of a human shredder. An Amnesty International spokesman tells me that his inquiries into the shredder "drew a blank". Widney Brown, the deputy programme director of Human Rights Watch, says: "We have not heard of that particular form of execution or torture."

Sorta reminds one of "can launch WMD within 45 minutes" Allawi..."flowers and chocolates" Chalabi, "raped, tortured, murdered my man!" lying prostitute whose hubby says she's a nut....

"used as FISH FOOD"??? What WON'T they say???

I wonder if the name of the unknown Faux Moos "reporter" was GUCKERT/GANNON...

[tom_paine]

10. "We've trained 100,000 Iraqi Police." FICTION

(and during the debate yet, of course, Corporate TV Pravda didn't make too much of a fuss about it)

[DoYouEverWonder]

11. The lump in the bed poem

The preztel incident

The biking fall

[The_Mule]

13. Pat Tillman?

I don't know how I missed it, but what's the story on how Pat Tillman died?

[LynnTheDem]

16. He was CHARGING up a hill, leading his men into battle when he

was cut down.

That's the FICTION.

In reality, it was a blue-on-blue. Accidentally?

********

"His mother said when they first revealed that it was friendly fire, that she thought initially, 'Well, accidents happen, I understand that," Coll told the Early Show. "But the more she learned about negligence and the cover-up that she saw at the Pentagon and the facts, the angrier she became. I think today she's looking for answers from the Pentagon."

[The_Mule]

17. Wow! Thanks for the link.

<StartQuote>
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., told the Post, "You may have at least a subconscious desire here to portray the situation in the best light, which may not have been totally justified."
<EndQuote>

Even an R questions it, at least on a subconscious level.

[LynnTheDem]

18. You're welcome!

I suspect there's more info being oppressed by the Pentagon but it'll leak out eventually. And when it does, I suspect the rightwingers aren't going to like it. But that's just my suspicions.

[Ms. Clio]

14. The Assyrian Christian woman who was raped and tortured

FICTION, but Wolfie and his minions sure made hay off of her lies.

[LynnTheDem]

15. Right, the felonious forger hooker. That Christian woman. The one whose

hubby made a miraculous recovery from being dead 3 years after he was murdered by Hussein.

:D
