Aziz: I want home in UK

The Sun (U.K.) ^ | 04/26/03 | DAVID WOODING

He needs to be raped with a broomstick and toilet plunger a few times and then he'll talk without making such arrogant demands.

That seems a bit excessive.....

You break him like that and then you learn nothing from him, he becomes a bithering idiot. There is a fine line for such things................

[bereanway]

I agree, Aziz is a perfect match for the duplicitous French.

BTW, Why do I think of Groucho Marx when I see Aziz?

[Howlin]

What the heck are they talking about?

He is OURS.....and it's not negotiable.

I believe this article is partly BS.

At least I know this statement

Aziz, who gave himself up on Thursday, is the most senior Saddam aide caught so far.

is more than likely NOT true.

[SeaDragon]

bithering = blithering

Does anybody know if it's safe to believe any of this? There are an awful lot of "insiders" and "sources" quoted, but not many verifiable facts.

I read this...

Desperate Aziz made his demands as CIA chiefs quizzed him at a PoW camp...

...and I wonder, "How the hell do they know what went on in a CIA interrogation room at a POW camp?" What, they have embedded reporters following intelligence agents around? A rogue CIA agent called up the Sun in London and spilled the beans? Has anybody seen another source reporting any of this?

Think of a place far from the madding crowd . . .

"Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife." I see, you want him dead.

On a side note, no more Fisk. The Indepenent has made all Fisk articles a pay feature. So, one last time:

[MadIvan]

I don't get why he wants to come here. We have a huge Iraqi exile community that will want his head on a platter.

The guy spilling his guts would be marvelous, but if he is a criminal giving him a pass is simply not possible, even if we otherwise wished to cut the deal. The guy simply has too many kleig lights upon him.

Re: #45
Mega LOL!

Second thought -
I expect he is immune.

[dighton]

The Independent has made all Fisk articles a pay feature.

Fisk would pay for a good beating, so his readers should pay for Fisk.

[Smedley]

The schemer has told his US captors he will reveal all about the Iraqi regime in exchange for a new identity and cushy life here.

Hmmmmmm! Personally, I have no problem with this. However, this guy better be willing and able to "shock and awe" us with his information.

[MadIvan]

If there are people who want to pay for Fisk, all I can say is, I'm glad I don't know them. ;)

Regards, Ivan

Good one ! A UK Gitmo with a twist (and a lot less warm).

[Pokey78]

Fisk's first article under the new pay system is: Robert Fisk: Did the US murder these journalists?

With a juicy headline like that, I started to reach for my credit card. hehe

[ysoitanly]

LOL!!! and i do mean LOL!!

[Arkinsaw]

Here is a nice island home for him in Britain. I am certain that everyone here will not hold it against him and allow him an exile on this wonderul location:

Isle of Peaceful Retreat For Aziz

[geedee]

Okey-doke, we make a deal with him. We give him an hour to tell us EVERYTHING he knows or we turn him loose in the middle of Baghdad . . . after telling all those who have murdered loved ones where and when he'll be turned loose.

That's our deal, Tariq.

[Arkinsaw]

Durn, we had the same idea and I didn't see yours before I posted.
