CBS) Saddam Hussein initially didn't think the U.S. would invade Iraq to destroy weapons of mass destruction, so he kept the fact that he had none a secret to prevent an Iranian invasion he believed could happen. The Iraqi dictator revealed this thinking to George Piro, the FBI agent assigned to interrogate him after his capture. Piro, in his first television interview, relays this and other revelations to 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley this Sunday, Jan. 27, at 7 p.m. ET/PT. Piro spent almost seven months debriefing Saddam in a plan based on winning his confidence by convincing him that...

Country trio the DIXIE CHICKS are planning to re-ignite their feud with US President GEORGE W BUSH in a provocative new song. The group sparked controversy when singer NATALIE MAINES publicly criticised Bush during a concert in London in 2003 - and fans staged bonfires, where they burned CDs and merchandise after calling the girls traitors. That led to Maines sobbing during an apologetic interview on US TV. But the feisty singer remains defiant and has penned new tune NOT READY TO MAKE NICE, which addresses the controversy surrounding her concert comments. Maines teamed up with former SEMISONIC frontman DAN...

<p>The rapid sinking of the Louisiana coast may have lowered New Orleans levees and contributed to their failure after Hurricane Katrina, resulting in the city's catastrophic flooding, engineers and other experts say.</p> <p>Levees and storm walls may be as much as 2 feet lower than they were designed to be, both because elevation data were outdated when the levees were built and because the land has continued to sink, they say.</p>

George Galloway sounds just as looney as before.

Her opening line at the "peace" demonstration was a real winner: "If we didn't know it now, we certainly know it now." This rally is a great comedic diversion from the Hurricane Rita coverage. Tune in and indulge.

Source: Rove Got CIA Agent ID From Media By JOHN SOLOMON, Associated Press Writer Presidential confidant Karl Rove testified to a grand jury that he learned the identity of a CIA operative originally from journalists, then informally discussed the information with a Time magazine reporter days before the story broke, according to a person briefed on the testimony. The person, who works in the legal profession and spoke only on condition of anonymity because of the secrecy of grand jury proceedings, told The Associated Press that Rove testified last year that he remembers specifically being told by columnist Robert Novak...

"He was very aggressive about doing his duty there. He never complained about it. ......

I've noticed that this website, debka.com, has some very provocative and interesting things to "report" about the Middle East. The latest deals with Syria being in cahoots with Iraq regarding WMD and a prearranged agreement between Syria, Iraq and France to hide WMD in Syria and Iraqi exiles in Syria and France. I know nothing about this outfit, DEBKAfile. I see they refer to mostly unnamed "debka sources". How credible are they? Can they legitimate? Or is it just another tin-foil hat entity?

Null and Void: Guarantees of Liberty by Joe Conason Not so long ago, a certain member of the United States Senate summoned the press to denounce controversial demands by federal law-enforcement officials for invasive power. While conceding that some additional measures to curtail crime and terror might be necessary, he insisted that fundamental freedoms could not be compromised. "These needs must be addressed, but the provisions must not destroy our constitutional liberties, including the First, Fourth and Fifth Amendments," said the Senator. "But frankly, no amendment to the Constitution needs more protection than any other. They all must be respected ...
