Saddam and Qaddafi, a Path to Pulitzer, a Path to Nobel, Happy Halloween…….
"Deposed Iraqi president Saddam Hussein planned to escape from his U.S.-run prison in 2006 with the help of loyalists, including former bodyguards, according to a book written by one of his lawyers."Saddam's plan to escape prison was supposed to take place in the summer of 2006, with the backing of the Iraqi resistance and a special force of bodyguards," Khalil al-Dulaimi wrote in "Saddam Hussein Out of U.S. Prison: What Happened.""Under the plan, the Iraqi fighters were given orders to attack Baghdad's Green Zone and the headquarters of the U.S. Marines at the capital's airport, before raiding his jail" at Camp Cropper near the airport, according to a copy of the 480-page book obtained by AFP this week…..…..”
Saddam's memoirs. The lawyer claims Saddam told him parts of it at each meeting while in prison, but he was not allowed to write them down. The lawyer went away each time and wrote everything from memory.
“Libya’s Colonel President Muammar qaddafi is working on writing an epic historic play…….”
With cameo appearances by Abdessalam Jalloud, Moussa al-Sadr, and others?
I would say that these Arab leaders were rehearsing for another career, preparing for when they left office. But Arab leaders never leave office, except feet first, like Saddam. Maybe they have put their countries in order and they have time 0n their hands.
Halloween: did you know that an Arab leader once sent a US president a cable congratulating him on Halloween? Those were the fun days: the oligarchs don't do that anymore.
Cheers
