The French, Iraq and What Else is New.
The Times is reporting that the marine abducted and being threatened with death by the extremists in Iraq was trying to desert. According to the article the marine, Corporal Wassef Ali Hassoun, was shaken by the death of his sergeant and was trying to make his way to Lebanon, his family's native country. He befriended some Iraqi's on the base where he was assigned who apparently offered him a way out. The Iraqis then betrayed him and turned him over to the terrorists. Base10 is really thinking about this development. First, was it necessary to release this information? Well, maybe. Second, doesn't this make the Baathist/al Qaeda side seem even more monstrous (if that's possible)? They betrayed a fellow Muslim who actually was trying to desert the military.
Whatever the truth is here, Base10 offers sympathy for Corporal Hassoun's family and hopes he makes it out okay.
In other news, William Safire writes that (1) the French can not be trusted, and (2) Iraq was indeed trying to buy uranium ("yellow cake") in Niger. Forged documents relied on by the intelligence community not withstanding, the actual intelligence supports the proposition that Iraq was trying to do it. So much for the credibility of the self-declared enemy of the Bush administration, Joe Wilson.
This makes one think about the WMD issue again. But wait, more shells containing sarin gas have been discovered in Iraq! Maybe the WMD claims were not the "outrageous lies" that the liberals are claiming.
