Rose Mary Woods, Where Are You?
WorldNetDaily is one of my favorite sources of fair and balanced news. I read it religiously. But I have to say, I'm a little embarrassed for them for still trying to make a case for WMDs in Iraq. It's over, boys. Time to board the helicopter and move on.
Here is the latest hope of the desperate about Saddam Hussein's phantom WMDs:
A former intelligence analyst currently working as a civilian contractor will unveil publicly what he believes to be recordings of Saddam Hussein's office meetings discussing his program of developing weapons of mass destruction at an International Intelligence Summit in the nation's capital next month.
The highly confidential audio was overlooked when it was found in a warehouse along with many other untranslated Iraqi intelligence files, according to the contractor. The recordings are very significant because they may contain audio of Saddam's secret intentions regarding weapons of mass destruction, he says.
I know a little something about recording presidential conversations. And I can say without any equivocation whatsoever — I don't recommend it.
After my little audio fiasco a few years back, I doubt the leader of any nation anywhere would record himself talking about anything of substance, and certainly not anything in the least bit incriminating. For Hussein, blabbing on tape about WMDs would be the mother of all boners.
According to WorldNetDaily:
Saddam's secret office recordings continued well into the year 2000. In all, they contain at least 12 hours of totally candid discussions with his senior aides.
Twelve hours? Saddam came to power in 1979, and between then and 2000 he recorded only twelve hours of conversations? Hell, just my <expletive-deleted> deleted expletives came to more than twelve hours.
WorldNetDaily reports that the "audio was overlooked when it was found." How in hell do you overlook an audiotaped conversation of the President of Iraq?
"Hey, look here Mr. Bremer, some tapes with Hussein's name on them."
"Never mind that. I'm looking for his porn collection."
I only wish I had investigators like these going through my tapes.

"I only wish I had investigators like these going through my tapes."
I'm not familiar with the tapes of which you speak, and maybe as a criminal investigator I shouldn't be. That said, I have to ask, "Do you know where Osama is, and if so, is he hiding the WMDs?"
Please speak into the microphone.

I have a confidential source who swears he saw Osama last Tuesday in Schenectady coming out of the latest Harry Potter movie.
He wasn't 100% sure it was Osama, but the dialysis machine the guy was dragging behind him seemed a bit suspicious.
