BOB WOODWARD’S ULTIMATE SCOOP: GALLOWS INTERVIEW WITH SADDAM
Proving once again that his inside access as a journalist is unparalleled, Bob Woodward, appearing today with Larry King, discussed his exclusive interview with Saddam Hussein — conducted just moments before the deposed Iraqi dictator was hanged for his crimes.

Wearing the black hood of the executioner to conceal his identity, a trick he learned during Watergate days from Deep Throat, Woodward extracted truly remarkable revelations from Saddam, even as Woodward placed the noose around the doomed man’s neck.

The transcript released by Woodward reveals that Saddam was strongly opposed to the U.S. invasion, but was reluctant to publicly criticize the Bush Administration, according to the longstanding protocol of honor among thieves.

Hussein also confesses to Woodward that although he always despised Bush 41 for kicking him out of Kuwait, he subsequently developed a grudging respect for the old man, especially after witnessing the rank incompetence of his son, who he referred to as the “not so great Satan.”
