I've talked to plenty of people who swear they have seen flying saucers (people who in other circumstances would be taken as rational and reasonable), but if I were to repeat their stories no one here would take these "data points" as being anything other than the mistaken impressions that they are. Now if Gautam were to say onlist that he saw this himself at a time when he was at this location in Kuwait it would weigh heavier as a fact. (I do not doubt Gautam an iota myself). But the fact that this "gossip" (in that it is third hand) is repeated by a government employee gives it less creedence these days considering the way the truth is mangled with regularity by "Our Employees". > Maybe a story that came out of Kuwait was personalized, in > order to better persuade Congress.

Mayhaps the Illuminati or the gray aliens are hiding something in Kuwait.<G> Fnord This kind of fnord speculation fnord is not very fnord usefull. People lied before congress and I expect conservatives to open up the same can of whoopass they unleashed on Clinton for doing the same, otherwise their glass house is going to have some windows broken.<G> > > I would be curious to see what was the condition of the hospital > afterwards...what people who were around there might have said to her, how > soon after the war she got there, etc. I'm not saying that there isn't a > problem with the original story, I'm saying that when someone on the list > has heard eye-witness account, it is worth hearing was said and > incorporating it into one's understanding. > I don't doubt that Iraqi soldiers trashed many buildings and did bodily harm to many people. I don't doubt that American soldiers have done similar things in Iraq. But not every story repeated will have the same component of truth. xponent Fortunes Of Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
