On the topic of white-washing, how 'bout this?: "For a second day in a row, the defiant information minister, Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, appeared at a roadside news conference to tell reporters that the invaders were being defeated even though his own ministry was not secure enough for him to preside over. " -- NY Times http://www.nytimes.com/2003/04/08/international/worldspecial/08CND-BAG H.html (free reg. required) Saeed al-Sahaf's efforts would be comical if not placed in a context of such misery. ------------- Regards, Bob Haroche O n P o i n t S o l u t i o n s www.OnPointSolutions.com
