Ben notes this passage from this SFGate story:
‘(Saddam’s) generals have been getting personal messages, including e-mail and cell phone calls, urging them not to fight.’
Then speculates exactly what such a message might look like…

Dear friend, This is for real!!!!!!!!!!!!1 ================================================ ================================================ This is a ''ONE-TIME MESSAGE'' you were randomly selected to receive this. There is no need to reply to remove, you will receive no further mailings from us. If you have interest in this GREAT INFORMATION, please do not click reply, use the contact information in this message. Thank You! :-) ================================================ ================================================ * Print This Now For Future Reference * The following opportunity is one you may be interested in taking a look at. It can be started with VERY LITTLE risk and the return is TREMENDOUS!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ You are about to not get killed by the most powerful military force in the world. Please read the enclosed program...THEN READ IT AGAIN!!! <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> The enclosed information is something I almost let slip through my fingers.Fortunately, sometime later I re-read everything and gave some thought and study to it. My name is Major Hassan al-Ramidi. Twelve years ago, the unit I commanded at for the past twelve years was eliminated. After unproductively wandering around in the desert in terror for a while, I incurred many unforeseen problems. Enormous numbers of men and high-tech weapons surrounded me and were trying to kill me. I truly believe it was wrong for me to be in trouble like this. AT THAT MOMENT something significant happened in my life and I am writing to share my experience in hopes that this will change your life FOREVER!!! In mid-December, I received this program via email. I had been sending away for information on various opportunities for not dying. All of the programs I received, in my opinion, were not practical. They were either too difficult for me to comprehend or they involved me getting killed by the US military or dying of thirst in the desert. But like I was saying, in December I received this program. I didn't send for it, or ask for it, they just got my name off a mailing list. THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT!!! After reading it several times, to make sure I was reading it correctly, I couldn't believe my eyes. Here was a NOT GETTING KILLED PHENOMENON. After I got a pencil and paper and figured it out, I at least had a chance of not dying horribly and painfully. After determining that the program is LEGAL and NOT A CHAIN LETTER, I decided ''WHY NOT''. I AM LIVING PROOF THAT IT WORKS !!!Comments closed
