   Funny, the administration didn't elaborate on that when they condemned   
   Saddam and his troops the first time. I wonder why?

   What was the purpose of showing Saddam being picked for headlice and swabbed   
   in his mouth for whatever reason? They could have just as easily waited   
   afterwards, or filmed him beforehand. It implies vulnerability.

   It's a right we have under the Constitution. The right to question our   
   government's actions and choices. You should look into that sometime.

   Any special reason why you brought up Florida? I sure didn't.
