I am not a terrorist

As a follow-up to this post about airport hi-jinx…

If you really want to cause trouble at airport security, you may want to purchase one of these shirts:

After reading about blogger Raed Jarrar’s experience at JFK (he was forced to take off a shirt with Arabic writing on it or miss his flight; new BBC article), I finally stopped being depressed about the war on terror and began being proactively pissed off. I made this shirt, which says “I am not a terrorist” in Arabic. I plan to wear it every time I go to the airport from now on.

I think the wardrobe for my next flight is now decided upon…

New video of Saddam’s body posted on Internet

As the title says, there’s a new Saddam video on the Internet:

BAGHDAD (AFP) – A grisly new video showing the body of Saddam Hussein shortly after his hanging, his head sharply twisted to one side and a gaping bloody wound to his neck, was posted on the Internet.

The 27-second footage, apparently taken with a cellphone camera, is expected to trigger fresh outrage in Iraq over the manner in which the former dictator was hanged and his body treated immediately after the execution.

The footage begins by showing a body on a stretcher covered in a white shroud and the camera moving upwards.

The link the actual video seems to have been removed from most places I know about, but here is some similar footage floating around on You Tube. It looks like coverage on Iraqi TV, but I’m not sure. Don’t click if you don’t want to see it.

Found this last night. It’s a great clip.
