Those Iraqi puppet ministers? Where do they get them from? The puppet Minister of Defense of Iraq, Sa`dun Ad-Dulaymi, today threatened to "By God, we shall destroy your house over your head and the heads of your children" if you are found with a terrorist on you, he said. Even the spokesperson of Ja`fari had to dissociate himself from that statement. Those people that were installed by US occupation, given enough time, would be willing AND able to replicate Saddam's crimes. And US occupation in Iraq has a simple policy with the Arab media: those that US disapproves of, US arrests, like the correspondent of AlArabiyya in Iraq who has been held for weeks without charges, and AlArabiyya, which never displeases US, does not say a word about the matter. Yesterday, the new US-approved correspondent of Al-Arabiyya was reporting about Iraqi popular displeasure with the statement by Dulaymi, and he added: "Dulaymi is the farthest person from bigotry". Enjoy the "free" media. It has arrived to the Middle East.
