From the Horse's Mouth
No, I'm not talking about Mr. Ed, but rather, Saddam Hussein, who apparently had 20 interviews and 5 "casual conversations" with the FBI before he was executed in 2006. An editorial summary of the interviews can be found here -- pretty hard evidence that, at least from Saddam's perspective, there were no WMDs, there was no link to al Qaeda, and that the dictator was more concerned with Iran than the U.S. before the final invasion that ended his career. It's an interesting read for those who are interested in the first draft of history. Also, Saddam's ego comes through in the pages of the interviews.
