Hey France... double THIS

http://www.abcnews.go.com/sections/w...sts030210.html

In the last 10 days, United Nations inspectors have been given what are described as "important, new and credible leads" from a recent defector, who also told ABCNEWS that Iraqi scientists involved in the nuclear, chemical and biological weapons program were systematically intimidated.

...One scientist who met with the inspectors this week was so frightened, it took an hour for him to stop shaking, according to U.N. sources.

This sounds plausible, very plausible. But the babies in the incubators left to die sounded plausible too, but it turned out to be completely manufactured.

The repeated phrasing of "the Weapons of Mass Destruction[tm]" makes me wonder. The cadence, tone, and repitition of key phrases makes it sound like an evil-universe post from tw's counterpart.

Sadam needs to die, but this sounds fishy.

Actually, my twisted mind conjured up an image of Cheney and Rumsfeld dressed as the priests from "The Exorcist," chanting that phrase to the tune of "THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!" until resistance ceases.

Try it -- it's fun!
