The prosecutor says there is a big surprise coming.

It had been mentioned on this blog that this guy Sobree may testify about Saddam’s weapons program. Maybe that is what the prosecutor is hinting at, but I don’t know.

It’s good that CNN has this trial on.

After they were in Abu Ghraib they were in some prison in the desert where a lot of people died. He describes how they were robbed under the pretext of a “donation”.

His brothers were executed. Some of them were children.

The Shiite mosque of the city Dujail was demolished and many of the people who went there were mostly killed.

CNN is carrying the trial of Saddam. Today they are showing the testimony of Mr. Haydari before Judge Rizgar.

Mr.Haydary was 14 when his family was taken after someone attempted to murder Saddam in his town. There were 10 children in the family. He says they were all arrested at home while they were fasting during Rmadan. I think a lot of them died.

I can’t hear it all because they interrupt with commentary.

He is describing how they were tortured, starved and denied health care in the security center.

He was taken to Abu Ghraib where many young children died.
He had a sister born in prison who died. It seems like his whole extended family was rounded up, even men who were serving in the military.

He describes the mistreatment by the guards.

“Bush’s so-called “illegal” spy program has indeed undergone judicial review. And a special foreign intelligence surveillance appeals court set up to review the case confirmed that such “warrantless searches” were completely legal.”

He is doing the job America reelected him to do: he is protecting the American people’s civil liberties and lives by catching the evil-doers.

Not what the ACLU does.

I guess that worries you, huh?

I’m no lawyer, but it could be that there is some wiggle-room in the small print of this FISA law.

Ghost – I posted this at CQ this morning. I respect George Will however this is all about technology and has nothing to do with getting a warrant.

I suggest this program is Son of Able Danger and our President has been keeping Dr Preisser very busy.

Check out George Will on the topic.

The question should be, “What are these guys really up to?”
