Surely.

But the story and the headline say that Saddam IS harboring
the terrorist in question.

Saddam IS NOT. The story itself, the part buried on page 3,
says he IS NOT. 

So, yeah, I'm complaining. But not whining.

I think we will look back -- publically unless the Bill of
Rights is gutted in the next few years -- and regret how so
many people in this country, in and out of the media, lay
down instead of protesting "preemptive strikes."
