This bit from a Washington Post story is priceless:
At least 60 and as many at 250 Iraqis surrendered. Col. Steve Cox of the British Marines told the Reuters news agency that U.S. Marines under British command captured 250 Iraqis near Umm Qasr. Television images from other parts of Iraq also showed Iraqi prisoners, marching in single file with their hands behind their heads. Mohammed Saeed Sahhaf, the Iraqi information minister, said the images were fabricated.
"Those were not Iraqi soldiers at all," he said. "Where did they get them from?"
After his gig as Iraqi information minister is up (say seventy two hours max) be sure to catch Mohammed Saeed Sahhaf at a comedy club near you.
