Yes, those have been known to induce the kind of fear upon which dictators thrive.

Starting by saying it's been done largely without pu

blic knowledge or consent. ( except for manufactured consent* through propaganda ) This is an article published just weeks before we invaded Iraq in 2003.

Saddam Hussein presumably has other things on his mind this weekend, but George W Bush is not the only person on his case. Officials from the International Olympic Committee may soon be in Baghdad to have a word with the Iraqi dictator's eldest son, Uday, about allegations that Iraqi athletes have been tortured and imprisoned on his orders.

The IOC ethics commission have received a report detailing the systematic punishment of athletes, sometimes in the opulent headquarters of the Iraq National Olympic Committee, an organisation Uday has overseen since 1984. The building contains a dark secret, like Room 101 out of George Orwell's 1984 , where your worst nightmares come true. It is a prison on the first floor where as many as 50 sportsmen and women may have been murdered and many hundreds tortured, beaten and left to rot.

How many fingers do you still have? As long as you've still got the middle ones you are fit for political discourse. If you've got a few more, you might get an invite to a Bubba Clinton party.

Simply because they played ball with either us or our allies. I've seen it up close and personal starting many years ago. Actually the farce that was Vietnam was only because we had ours heads shoved so far up France's ass. We were clearly on the wrong side there leaving uncle Ho no choice but to seek support from China and Russia. We've supported many tin hat assholes through the years so I learned never to trust the propaganda that is our media and certainly not my government. Not that the other side is any more honest because they're not. This leaves only one conclusion to draw and that is that all politicians of whatever persuasion they claim as nothing more than self interested lying assholes.
