Could be, but it is easy to blame the dead.

One note: It is certainly not a "Russian" name, "Nelja". -Probably a Mixed marriage Muslim product of Soviet society.

PING!

But the question in my mind is...suppose they do this. What are we going to do about it? Seriously. It's easy to advocate nuking mecca, or transforming Iraq into glazed silica; but I begin to wonder whether we'll really do anything.

Or will we all celebrate diversity and prattle about the "good" mo-slimes?

Resettling Iraqi POWs in U.S. Criticized; Lawmakers Urge Clinton to End 'Potentially Dangerous'

Washington Post 08/25/93: William Claiborne

More than 80 members of Congress have asked President Clinton to end what they called the "potentially dangerous and unfair policy" of resettling captured Iraqi soldiers in the United States along with deserving civilian Iraqi refugees.

But congressional critics have challenged the notion of charging taxpayers to resettle former enemies, particularly at a time of national budget-cutting. Rep. Clifford B. Stearns (R-Fla.) accused the administration of a "bizarre set of priorities" for going to great length to accommodate combatants who participated in the "rape of Kuwait," while 8.9 million jobless Americans cannot afford the basic necessities of life.

Iraqis Held in U.S. May Be Freed

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Five former Iraqi military officers who claimed they fought Saddam Hussein and then spent 2 1/2 years in custody fighting deportation from the United States are happy to finally be getting out of jail.

``The system here is good, but the people who represent (the government) have brought shame to this country,'' said Mohammed Jwer Abboud Al-Ammary, a former military cargo plane pilot.

The Iraqis may stay in Nebraska until a friendly country agrees to accept them, a judge ruled Friday. A sixth Iraqi refused the agreement, the end to a saga that began in 1996 when the U.S. airlifted 6,500 Iraqis from Turkey following a failed coup in Iraq.

The men's families were granted asylum, but immigration authorities sought deportation and claimed they were spies for Hussein.

The men said they were grateful for the efforts to free them, especially those of former CIA Director James Woolsey, now a private lawyer. But they also feel betrayed by the U.S. government, which they say promised asylum.

Immigration Judge D.D. Sitgraves denied the men asylum in March 1998 and ordered them deported, saying they could be double agents. The men claimed they would be executed if sent home.

Intelligence officials say an informant has reported the institute's late director, virologist Nelja Maltseva, moved the smallpox on a trip to Iraq in 1990.

No wonder it's such a biggie that vaccinations are givin to Americans. Heck, that's all the news I need to agree to one. *shiver*
Saddam would use it, too. The butcher of Bagdad wouldn't hesitate for one minute if we go to war.
