ABC News has a story about The Secret Tapes -- Inside Saddam's Palace. Apparently, they have 12 hours of verified tapes of Saddam talking to his cronies about hiding WMD's and programs and terrorism. The tapes date from the mid-90's and at one point he says that terrorism is coming to America and Britain.

A quick google search later I find that the sender's return address is in the wilds of northern Pennsylvania. A place I have never visited. "Open it." "W...
