It is likely we will if what the print reporters say is not found in the
edited tapes. Censuring the tapes of anything critical of Bush would cause
yet another scandal for the dimwits in this administration that would
outweigh any fallout of criticisms of Bush Saddam might make.

In any case, no matter how the trial develops and no matter the outcome,
the trial inevitably will be seen by many as a show trial, stage-managed by
the US puppets in the so-called interim government. Contrary to the claims
made by many
conservative pundits, the Saddam trial is going to make Bush's re-election
even harder than it already looks. 9/11 could have been any easy ride to
re-election,
but he totally screwed it up.

When the full story of the occupation is revealed, and that is likely
before November, Bush is going to look even dumber than he already does.
Not only dumber, but even corrupt to the core.
