I am told that " Woolsey is a tough, but shrewd individual, not known for the sky is fallingpronouncements. " So this is especially interesting.

I red the bit, then noticed the "torture chamber" story on the CNN page.
Now it was an unnamed BBC reporter who wrote about the torture chamber - actually it was a Daily Mirror reporter under his byline who broke it. It also became an anonymous person who talked about the horror, rather than the named Iraqi in the Mirror story. All this in a couple of days.
An ancient story about passing a message along goes back to the first world war.
The message "Send reinforcements. We are going to advance" passed from person to person on its way to headquarters.
It arrived as "Send three and four pence. We're going to a dance".
I wonder where the torture chamber story will pop up next?
