And probably shortened "Abu Hamdi Mahmoud", Saddam's bodyguard's life quite dramatically.

A pack of geeks, pale and skinny, feeling a bit pumped and macho after a morning of strenuous mouse clicking and dragging, arriving en masse at the gym. They carefully reset the machines to the lowest settings, offer to spot for each other on the 5 lb dumbells, and rediscover the art of macrame while attempting to jump rope. -Roger Wright on my colleagues and I going to gym each day at lunch

Possibly because its not true ? I wouldn't trust this bodyguard who looked after Saddam any more than I would trust Saddam. Too many peole have an interest in planting information and if the Iraqis do try and clear out places as full as these would be then there will be evidence. The tigress is here :-D

Anna Jayne Metcalfe

Neither can I. :confused: Maybe the fact that it's been leaked indicates they believe they've already got the evidence they need? Wait and see I guess. Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk

The Herald Sun is like an Aussie version of The National Inquirer. You can't believe everything you read.

Those who believe Saddam has WMDs will continue to believe it, proof or not. Those who believe Saddam does not have WMDs will continue to believe it, proof or not. Even if they are found, this type will just fall back on "But who says he is going to actually use them?" Everyone going to war is already in, the rest are not going to come in.

Or just claim that the evidence is obviously faked, and give a load of half baked arguments good enough to convince the average stupid person (think moon landings hoax) -- Help me!

Anyone with half a brain can see through the sham of "American culture", no nation can be that fake, so obviously it is not real. And if America is not real then the moon landings are not real. And neither is Russia real because they cannot exist without America.

Damn you Paul! You stole my thunder. When I saw benjymous' comments I immediately recalled a conversation with a *cough* relative. I had read the Illuminati's trilogy which is a wonderfully funny spoof on all of the conspiracy theories and advised this person to read it. The funny thing is he was convinced it was an account of actual events and events to come. "Veni, Vidi, Booyah!" - Ceasar

Tell your *cough* relative *cough* that in fact the white man never landed in Africa and that the black man very cleverly made up the whole rape and pilage of Africa by the white man to get free aid and sympathy. I mean really, what better story to get a free meal ticket than that? :rolleyes: Chris Austin wrote: I had read the Illuminati's trilogy which is a wonderfully funny spoof on all of the conspiracy theories and advised this person to read it I have not read it, worth getting a hold of?

I hope you're not calling me stupid, since my knowledge of that newspaper is minimal. :confused:

So, "under-educated" people are stupid ? :~ Nothing personal there, just taking the opportunity I see the adjective stupid a lot in these days in the forums. I'm affraid it could be the expression of a complex of superiority over other workers, particularly manual workers. Too many believe diplomas make intelligence.

:laugh: No, quite the opposite We're talking about the kind of newspaper that'd happily print "Elvis is alive and works in Wal-Mart" stories, and, sadly, there are plenty of people out there who'd read it and believe it must be true because it's in a newspaper -- Help me!
