And then there is this site. The editor of this Arabic site (I do not know who he is, or what his politics are) sent me this item. First, I do complain that people in the Middle East and US Left sometimes go too far in their adherence to conspiracy theories. But it is equally foolish to believe that there are no conspiracies in this world, especially with Cheney running (or trying to run) the world. One has to be careful about which conspiracy theory has some foundation or evidence. There is a story that Saddam Husayn had been held prisoner by his own guards inside the hole. The story alleges that his guards negotiated his surrender for the reward. It also alleges that he was drugged (pointing out the footage when he was feeling his own face). The story also points out that Saddam looked as if he had not been showered in weeks. Al-Quds Al-`Arabi (a London daily which expresses simultaneous sympathy for Saddam AND Bin Laden) also expresses doubts about the story of his capture. But my worry is this: supporters of Saddam want to cast doubt on the story of his capture because they are embarrassed by his lack of resistance. So maybe it is healthy to express skepticism toward Bush'propaganda, and the propaganda of Saddam's supporters. As for the Truth: it has one address: angryarab.blogspot.com.
