Saddam Threatens to Expose US
P.K. Abdul Ghafour, Arab News Staff


JEDDAH, 27 December 2003 — 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.

The source said Saddam had stopped answering the investigators’ questions and asked them to “give him enough time to clear his mind.” He did not elaborate further, the source added. More at link.


There can be little doubt that after being supported for better than 20 years by the U.S. that Saddam certainly has some embarrassing information about his once cozy with the U.S., and I am certain that we don't yet have the unfiltered truth from Gulf War the 1st. At this point, I wonder if the majority of my apathetic fellow citizens even care. From the amount of attention lavished upon the many 'problems' of the current administration's follies, I don't think 'the people' care what we've done, or not done. Sad really.
