Saddam's Inbox Hacked

Posted by jamie on from the in-order-to-have-your-advice dept.

MotorMachineMercenar writes "Wired News is reporting that Saddam Hussein's email account (press@uruklink.net) has been hacked into. The account had a five-letter login with the same password. Messages in his inbox sent from all over the world included everything from death threats to business propositions to offers to sell him WMDs. A choice quote from the article: 'One AOL user sent Saddam a one-word message: 'Imminent.' Attached to the Aug. 6 e-mail was a photograph of an atomic mushroom cloud.' I wonder what the login was." You'd think it was "press," password "press," but if it were that obvious I think someone would have said so.

    OK. So you're a ginger, American anonymous coward, who thinks that 'stupider' and 'alright' are words. You certainly are a force to be reckoned with.

    Torture and brutality are the norm for Saddam's regime. You disappear if you cause too much trouble. Political liberties are unheard of. Politics is an exercise in hubris, not in civil society.

    And exactly how much time have you spent under Saddam's Iron fist? Oh that's right you're a sensational American douche-bag easily swayed by media and your own self importance.

    All of the above may be true but the very idea that one would compare Saddam to W in a serious manner is ridiculous.

    I heartily disagree. I completely agree that the Bush family had a great deal of responsibility for making Saddam who he is today.

    Regardless of what this war is about, one thing is for sure, Halliburton will be there to clean up the mess, certainly with Cheney somewhere in tow. God bless, greed, graft, and Corruption. And if you have time God, maybe the rest of America.
