He surrendered and wasn't captured. He'll get a slight benefit for that. I have no idea how slight. It probably depends on how many of those face cards he can help us bring in or discover they are dead.

[geedee]

A Soviet-era umbrella, I presume?

[ysoitanly]

If you're not married, marry me (JUST KIDDING!!!) - but i was absolutely thinking the same thing. Credibility-wise, an 'insider' in all of this is as trustworthy as the person paying for the ad selling a user 'Pacer' in running condition - because that never happened either!

[Shermy]

Thanks for the memories!

The Indepenent has made all Fisk articles a pay feature.

I was wondering why we haven't seen Fisk articles for a week or so.

For one thing he was not shot and killed wile being captured..anything else is gravy for him...since it is now known he had two heart attacks,,if he has a third after spilling his guts, it wouldn't surprise anyone but the left...

Make a deal. Let him talk. Let him think he is safe. Then let some Iraqis have at him.

[F16Fighter]

Within hours of his capture in Baghdad, Aziz — a top member of Saddam’s Revolutionary Command Council — hinted to US forces about his knowledge of weapons, crimes against humanity and Saddam’s last-known whereabouts.

I vote for sticking Aziz's own fat lit cigar up his arse until his memory shows improvement.

[bayareablues]

He can start with Scott Speicher's whereabouts.

[Mrs.Liberty]

The source added: “He knows that as a Christian and a key member of the regime there is no chance of Iraqis showing any leniency towards him. “He is terrified of spending his last hours swinging from a crane in the centre of Baghdad. He’s worried about being on American soil. Aziz is asking for assurances that if he provides detailed evidence and acts as a witness, he’ll be treated like one. Boo freaking hoo.

I didn't notice this POS caring when the people of Iraq were being murdered.

Who the hell is HE to call shots?

[Kenny Bunk]

Not a bad idea. According to Baghdad Bob, The Republican Guard has completely annihilated anyone who may have been opposed.

They have also surrounded Coalition Forces at the site of the proposed airport, inflicting thousands of casualties upon them. Aziz, dog of an infidel though he may be, will land in triumph.

[Rasputin_TheMadMonk]

Give him what he wants, if he comes across with good intel that works when put to the test. Send him to the U.K. with a heart felt atta boy.

Six months to a year later, send in a hit team and put him in a box. If the U.S. doesn't have the stomach for it, ask the Mossad, they don't screw around when dealing with terrorists.

Plausible deniability is maintained.

[dighton]

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

How odd that Fisk himself wasn't murdered. Well, not really . . . . . . everyone knows he works for Mossad.

;-)

[Airborne Longhorn]

Hey, I LOVE your remarks, pal!

Can I call Aziz an a$$hole without getting banned?

ROFLMCO!!

[RichardW]

I'd give it to him for ALL the information with the caveat that should he be found to have snookered us he would be reeled in like a big fish. We need to get those WMD and any other loose ends cleared up as quickly as possible.

[Ethyl]

“The guy is a murderous scumbag and we don’t want him here. He has got the blood of hundreds of thousands on his hands.”

And he calls himself a Christian??????????

[Ethyl]

It's interesting. With a lot of terrible people you really can't tell be looking at them. But with Aziz the combination of extreme cleverness and heartless amorality shows in the face; blatantly.


And he call himself a Christian????

[Mike-o-Matic]

   Someone remind me why we can't truth serum this guy?

Who says we haven't?

[Lijahsbubbe]

And Christians are thinking, "get off my side!"

[William McKinley]

Highest ranking, probably not. Most senior? Probably. He has been with Saddam for a long, long, long time.

[marshmallow]

Aziz is yesterday's news.

Curiously, the reason he gave himself up I believe, is because he is pre-occupied with something which should also concern us; the possible emergence of Islamic justice within an Islamic state. He believes (rightly) that he will have more of a chance for a humane hearing and trial in American hands rather than in the hands of an Islamic kangaroo court, where "justice" would be swift and bloody.

Aziz is simply doing what he's done all these years. Throwing in his lot with whomever happens to be the big cheese in town in the hope of covering his own butt.
