You have got to be kidding me

My disbelief while reading this story is not directed so much at those Iraqis professing their admiration of Saddam (though they are missing quite a few boats on this one), but is much more directed at the way this piece is presented. Of course there are some Iraqis that want Saddam back; for those favored few in Hussein's Iraq, life was really good. The fact that Reuters felt it necessary to go out of their way to find these Iraqis and make them the focal point of a story which can only be trying to hurt the effort in Iraq is remarkable to me.
