We ran into Roger Smith, aka, "Francisco Dupruy" of HBO's "K. St" out in Foggy Bottom
late Friday night during Halloween festivities...He wasn't dressed up but informed us
he was hanging out at an M St. cafe watching the Georgetown revelers go by...We also
spotted him ironically the next day at the Clarendon Cosi...We weren't, however, able
to get any inside scoop on what's in store for the final two episodes...

WashPost: Hussein sure of his own survival...Saddam Hussein refused to order a
counterattack against U.S. troops when war erupted in March because he misjudged the
initial ground thrust as a ruse, former Iraqi deputy prime minister Tariq Aziz has
told interrogators, according to U.S. officials.

Post Analysis: Twice in the past two weeks, the Iraqi opposition has hit high-profile
U.S. targets that had been largely beyond its reach, an escalation that may prove more
significant strategically than tactically because of the increased political pressure
it puts on the Bush administration.
