Who's this with Castaway hopeful Saddam Hussein?



Could it be defender of the 'free' world Ronald Dumbsfeld? Shaking hands with a vile mass-murderer? Poor old George Galloway must be feeling a bit hard done by.

What was Dumbsfeld doing there, anyway? Well, he was assuring Iraq's Mr Nasty of America's full support during the Iran-Iraq war - despite the fact that the US knew full well Saddam was using chemical weapons daily against Iran - and his own people. So now Saddam is under the cosh (rightly) for his chemo-tyranny and will probably have an ignominous end - but what are the chances of Dumbsfeld getting away scot-free?

Especially considering that the US was actively supplying Saddam with such innocuous materials as...er...anthrax, botulinim and E.Coli (among others).

So - when Saddam gets his due in the dock, will we see Mr Rumsfeld sitting up there with him as an accessory? Don't hold your breath.
