I saw that article, UT. And while I don't doubt that it could be Uncle Saddam on that tape, we don't know whether his folks are even listening to him anymore...they could very well be acting on their own.

Very interesting connection that I hadn't thought about. If we look at it from that viewpoint though, it could also be Filipino militants pissed off at us for putting Marcos up for his final days.
After seeing France's reaction to the Lockerbie settlement, I am convinced that the French merely want a piece of the pie. Not necessarily bad...who doesn't like making money? But if they really are of that viewpoint, just fucking admit it already.
This settles it...I'm going to the library this weekend to read some books about French culture and politics. I just don't get them sometimes, and maybe it's just because I am ignorant of who they really are.
