Disturbing;
Sounds like the rubber-stamping of what the administration wants to hear, has become SOP.
(e.g. WMDs for GWB administration).

It's possible...but Mr. Nixon also must realize he's dealing with an Iraqi who has spent his life being deceptive. Not as if his writings can be vetted by Saddam. I'm willing to bet that many of the world's brutal dictators, when faced with their crimes has said "I'm not a brutal dictator. I'm simply a pawn in a much bigger plan."

Please don't dent the planet.
