| Opposition sez Sammy bumped off 15... |

| Another one from Steve... An Iraqi opposition group said Monday that 15 political dissidents had been executed in a prison west of Baghdad. The claim by the Center for Human Rights, which is linked to the Iraqi Communist Party, could not be independently confirmed. The Iraqi government does not comment on such allegations. What're they supposed to say? "Yeah. We dunnit, and we're glad!"? The center, citing unnamed sources inside Iraq, said that the executions took place in the Abu Ghraib prison, west of Baghdad, on July 21 and the bodies were buried at night in a mass grave at al-Karkh cemetery in Baghdad. A statement faxed to The Associated Press in Cairo said the men had been executed for opposing President Saddam Hussein's regime. So far, the center has reported 33 executions of political prisoners during July. I'm surprised the number's that low... |

| #6 Just curious, but how do you suppose they get these numbers? The same guys that counted the dead at Jenin? Wow, the Iraqi Communist Party. There's a concept that truly boggles the mind. Just how could things get worse than they already are in Iraq? The Iraqi Communist Party. |

| #4 Saddam is dangerously paranoid all ready. He has recently fired all his Republican Guard commanders and taken direct control of the formations. Now Saddam thinks, and heck, a lot of Americans think Bush II has commissioned assassins for Saddam as payback for what Saddam tried to do with Bush I. This should pretty much push Saddam over the edge. We played the same game with Abu Nidal in the 1980's. By 1987, a fearful Abu Nidal had turned his terror campaign inward...Accused followers were tortured to confess, then executed on the basis of that confession...Over three hundred hard-core operatives were murdered (in Lebanon) on Abu Nidal's order. On a single night in November 1987, approximately 170 were tied up and blindfolded, machine-gunned, and pushed into a trench prepared for the occasion. Another 160 or so were killed in Libya shortly thereafter...Abu Nidal's paranoia, fed by our crusade against him, caused him to destroy his organization." http://www.nationalreview.com/ledeen/ledeen082002.asp |

| #1 Expect that number to go up and to include some of those currently seen as close to Saddam. One of the first "projects" in psyops prior to regime change is to sow paranoia among the current regime...what's the Baathist version of Mahmoud the Weasel? Uday, Qusay or ? |
