Kinda makes me want to put on an old t-shirt I have at home.  The front of
it says:

Participant
Southeast Asia War Games
Second Place

Hey, I told you that it was an old t-shirt.

Surely.

But the story and the headline say that Saddam IS harboring
the terrorist in question.

Saddam IS NOT. The story itself, the part buried on page 3,
says he IS NOT. 

So, yeah, I'm complaining. But not whining.

I think we will look back -- publically unless the Bill of
Rights is gutted in the next few years -- and regret how so
many people in this country, in and out of the media, lay
down instead of protesting "preemptive strikes."
