#1 gosh too bad he didn't ask what we were really interested in hearing ... like
how many children did you rape in front of their parents and send home in body bags?
Did you enjoy putting people in shredders?
How many people did you massacre?
What is the longest you ever tortured someone before they died?

#3 Time can find him but DoD, CIA, and FBI can't. And can't even follow around Time guys either - it would violate thier rights of privacy and free press I bet.

#4 Way too much to fisk, but he'll be dead soon. Although Time might beat him to it with this kind of reporting.

#6 Dang! Journalists NEVER ask the typing of probing questions I'd ask. Such as: what's the longitude and latitude of your "safe" house?

#7 Former Iraqi Air Force General Georges Sada in his book Saddam's Secrets ridiculed Izzat al-Douri
thusly (pp90-91):
"Whenever Saddam wanted to confer an honor on one of his handpicked favorites, he would give them a high rank in the military or any other honor he could think of. He did this most conspicuously, perhaps, for a man named Izzat al-Douri, when he raised him to the rank of four-star general. To understand the significance of that, you should know that before being appointed a four-star general, Izzat was the ice seller in the village of Dour, [my italics] which is just accross the river from Tikrit where Saddam was born.
At Saddam's whim, Izzat was put in charge of several divisions of Iraqi soldiers. At last report, Izzat the ice seller was very ill, suffering from leukemia. Some have suggested he may have been a leader of the insurgency in Iraq, helping to plan attacks on Americans and destabilize the new government. In reality he's not smart enough to lead anyone in battle. But he was incredibly loyal to Saddam who had trusted him enough to put him in such a lofty position."
