Description
Saddam & I sparred for nearly hour. He told me he would release men to me. At end of our conversation, he brought in state controlled media for photo op. While they were taking pictures & shooting tape, he told me these images weren't good politics in Iraq, given that they showed him w/American. I responded in kind: I wouldn't be using these pictures in my next reelection campaign either. He smiled briefly. I then told him I would be going to Mass w/Tariq Aziz. "I understand Mass is much longer here than in my country," I said. - from Prologue
