Colonel Beckwith and I told SH that we didn’t think it was particularly funny that he had us looking for “Monkey Valley” and the “Camel Ass Testing Facility” when, it turned out, there were no such locations. Also, we told him we were unable to verify the existence of Mohammad Mohahaha and we do not believe his claims of having built an “infidel ray.” We told him that, as a result of our disappointment, we would be denying his TV access. He said TV sucks anyway because they don’t sing about him anymore.
From “Saddam’s Interrogation Tapes,” by Brian M. Sack, over at McSweeney’s.
