More Than 300 Iraqi Clerics and Other Leaders Petition For Release of Saddam Hussein

My God. We have actually reached the point where the Bushies have fucked up Iraq so completely, so irreparably that more than 300 Iraqi leaders, clerics and otherwise, have petitioned for the release of former "president" Saddam Hussein so he can return to lead the country out of the morass Bush and Rumsfeld have wrought.

This was reported today on "Democracy Now" (you can catch it again at 7 PM ET on Free Speech TV; Link TV may also have another showing of it today and north central Vermonters can catch it on WGDR - 91.1 FM - at 6:30 PM ET). Those with broadband can also listen to a recording of it at their Web site.

Also, lest you think that those petitioning are just Saddam loyalists who have never stopped wanting Hussein's release and reinstatement, this appears not to be the case. Some of the leaders noted have worked with the Bushies and the U.S. propped government there but no longer feel that the Bush system works.
