"On Friday, making coffee in the dust, he told me he had been writing a diary, partly for his wife Kelly, a nurse at home in Jacksonville, North Carolina, with their sons Colin, 6, and four-year-old twins Brian and Evan. Mark Franchetti writes for the London Times When he came to jotting down the incident about the two babies getting killed by his men he couldn't do it. But he said he would tell her when he got home. I offered to let him call his wife on my satellite phone to tell her he was okay. He turned down the offer and had me write and send her an e-mail instead. He was too emotional. If she heard his voice, he said, she would know that something was wrong. " Heather Read blondie@phy.ucsf.edu 04/08/03 11:38:40 GMT |

Emperor George:
What has become of American values and idealism? All swept away in this thoroughly un-American war - Jonathan Freedland Wednesday April 2, 2003 The Guardian "Washington's plan for Baghdad consists of 23 ministries - each one to be headed by an American.
