Two Blasts Targeting U.S. HQs Rock Baghdad (Claims Saddam Executes Judge)
http://www.islam-online.net/English/News/2003-11/06/article01.shtml

Baghdad, November 6 (IslamOnline.net) - Two strong explosions rocked the Iraqi capital of Baghdad at dawn on Thursday, November 6, presumably caused by a new Iraqi resistance raid on the headquarters of the U.S. occupation forces stationed at the former Presidential Palace, the Conference Palace and Al-Rashid Hotel, eyewitnesses said.

They said the sound of the explosions, that took place at 03:00 AM (00 GMT) came from the so-called "Green Zone," comprising the U.S. army headquarters and were caused from either Katusha missiles or mortar shells used in similar attacks on the area over the past few days.

No statement was issued on the raids by the U.S. forces spokesman till 08:30 AM local time (05:30 GMT).

Meanwhile, an Iraqi newspaper claimed on Thursday that Iraq's deposed President Saddam Hussein himself had executed an Iraqi judge at the holy city of Nejaf in a desert near the city on Tuesday, November 4.

Al-Yum Al-Akhar daily quoted its "special correspondent," who it said "was in Nejaf when Judge Mohan Jabur Al-Sheweily was executed by Saddam and a number of his counterparts in the Nejaf desert, following Sheweily's abduction."

"Saddam himself killed Judge Sheweily after he said he had executed the 'people's decision,' following the Judge's decision to arrest a number of former ruling Baath Party in Nejaf," the newspaper quoted its "secret reporter" as saying.

He's going to become larger than life and tales will become taller with time.

8. Russia? Hell, Saddam's Prolly Kickin' It At The Crawford Pig Farm
he's probably got his newly polished boots (given to him by AWOL himself) propped up on AWOL's toy "desk".. thinking about how many great things he can do with all the kick back money he's getting from Halliburton/Cheney.

6. If there are explosions & noone reports it, did it happen?
Americans can remain as ignorant as they want.

The problem is that the war is in the ME.
Adn the people we want to affect are getting
a different take.

And BTW-The problem w/ naming another 20th Hijacker:
Further, we will see how FBI Director Mueller uses the
details in the Moussaoui indictment to explicitly pair
up Khalid and Mustafa Ahmed - a full nine months
before these characters end up sharing news
space for their own simultaneously choreographed apprehensions... 

With that in mind, one can almost picture sitting
in with the members of the National Security
Council on a balmy Spring morning in late May
2002, leafing through their photo albums as
they argued over the most appropriate candidate
to close off the official 9/11 Legend.

7. I've been thinking along a similar line: If a soldier dies in Iraq and
the press does not see it, is the soldier really dead?
