    "SADDAM Hussein's senior bodyguard has fled with details of Iraq's secret arsenal.

    His revelations have supported US President George W. Bush's claim there is enough evidence from UN inspectors to justify going to war. Abu Hamdi Mahmoud has provided Israeli intelligence with a list of sites that the inspectors have not visited.

    They include:

    AN underground chemical weapons facility at the southern end of the Jadray Peninsula in Baghdad;

    A SCUD assembly area near Ramadi. The missiles come from North Korea;

    TWO underground bunkers in Iraq's Western Desert. These contain biological weapons.

    William Tierney, a former UN weapons inspector who has continued to gather information on Saddam's arsenal, said Mahmoud's information is "the smoking gun".

    I'm more than a bit cynical about this information. If it is such reliable and earth-shattering information, why did he release the information to people like Sharon, instead of informing the weapons inspectors?

    Maybe because he knows Israel will actually DO something about it!

    I heard on the radio this morning (WTOP) that this story is fake.

    I didn't catch all the details, but I remember hearing something along those lines, that the bodyguard was a fake or that he lied or something.

    And the plot thickens. What a load of horse manure.

    "Hans Anderson's Fairytales".

    Next installment "The prophet Mohammed appears to George W"!
