"The Christian Science Monitor offered new revelations about Saddam Hussein and his rule of Iraq. In a tape made in 1991 during the Gulf War and obtained by U.S. intelligence, Saddam openly talked about using weapons of mass destruction against U.S. troops. 'I want to make sure that -- close the door, please -- the germ and chemical warheads . . . are available, so that in case we ordered an attack, they can do it without missing any of their targets?' Hussein asked. The paper said Saddam's comments were likely made during January 1991. [. . .] In 1982, after Hussein was advised by his health minister that he should temporarily resign to help end the Iran-Iraq war, he had the minister killed and his body, cut in pieces, delivered to the minister's wife."

"Every country that has experimented with women in combat has abandoned the idea [except -- to date -- the U.S.]. Israel used women in combat for a few weeks in the war of 1948 but never did so in later military operations. . . . The Soviet Union used some female troops in World War II but has since abandoned this altogether. . . There must be a reason for the unanimous verdict of history that the armed forces demand different roles for men and women."

"[S]omeone cut and pasted porno pictures and advertised them as evidence of mass rapes of Iraq women by American soldiers. The Boston Globe, hot and bothered over the [Abu Ghraib] prisoner story, took the bait. Boston City Councilor Chuck Turner had received the photos from a representative of Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam and gave them to the Globe. In Britain, the Daily Mirror ran shocking photos, one of which purported to be of a British soldier urinating on an Iraqi prisoner wearing a hood over his head. The other was of another prisoner being hit in the groin by a rifle butt. It paid $40,000 for the photos, and claimed to have gotten them from British troops. But on May 14, the Mirror admitted that the photos were fake, and it fired their editor, Peirs Morgan."
