#1 Long discussion at Bill Quick's and Den Beste sez that we probably already found the WMD's and just haven't released the info for many valid reasons. It would be a real shame if Aziz walked free here, physically intact

#2 Christ... Are we being nice to these guys instead of giving them the full Bagram?

#3 Mightn't this be disinformation to protect Tariq's clansmen as well as the presumably large number of his once (and possibly future) subalterns that Lord Ministers of Tariq's stature tend to acquire over the course of career in the service of a mighty despot?

That's to say, when Dubya casts calumny on the good name of Aziz, mightn't certain Baathist & Islamoid elements back in Mesopotamia view that as a sign of Tariq's heroism whilst in the clutches of the Great Satan?

So rather than toss all of Tariq's relatives to the 4th degree & his erstwhile underlings into ye olde Saddamite woodchipper -- hapless small fry who know too little to earn a spot in Unc Sam's witness protection program -- perhaps it's hoped this subterfuge will at least give some pause to those who might otherwise see fit to slit their throats.
