When the roll is called up yonder

From the MEMRI News Ticker:

May 21, 2004
DIPLOMATIC SOURCES CONFIRM THE EXISTENCE OF 150 RECORDINGS OF SADDAM’S CONFESSIONS WHICH INCLUDE INFORMATION ON BRIBES PAID TO HEADS OF STATE AND POLITICAL LEADERS IN ARAB AND FOREIGN STATES. (AL-MU’TAMAR, IRAQ, 5/20/04)

Perhaps Chirac may wish to reconsider how much of Iraq’s debt to France he’s willing to forgive. Maybe these recordings were what Jim Baker carried in his little black bag during his visits to Iraq’s creditors.

#6  If this is true, its not likely ABCCBSNBCCNN will play this up, unless it can reflect badly on the US.
It's not American soldiers or Mossad making prisoners wear womens underwear on their heads, which is far worse apparently.

#4  Laurence,

I've heard that very few Americans took Saddam's bribes. Either our leftists were too stupid to get in on the game or, more likely, our currency transfer record laws are too strict to accomodate it.

#3  This is the second mention I've seen of this in an "Arab" media organ in a couple of days...Hmmm.
(As if they didn't know already what Saddam and the EUro-weasels were up to!)
I want these tapes played 24/7 for a week on CBS's "60 minutes!"

#2  LotR - "POLITICAL LEADERS IN . . .FOREIGN STATES.

Teddy Kennedy only remotely resembles that remark.
