      I hear elizabeth Holmes was a co-inventor.

      Education is extremely important.

        That's just priceless.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Baghdad Bob would be impressed.

          Did we ever kill him, or what?

            apparently not. he wasn't even charged. From Wiki:

            On 25 June 2003, British newspaper the Daily Mirror reported that al-Sahhaf had been captured by coalition troops at a roadblock in Baghdad.[4] The report was not confirmed by military authorities and was denied by al-Sahhaf's family through Abu Dhabi TV. The next day, al-Sahhaf recorded an interview for Dubai-based news channel al-Arabiya.[10] He was reportedly paid as much as US$200,000 for the television interview, during which he appeared very withdrawn, in contrast with the bombastic persona he projected during the war. Many of his answers consisted of a simple "yes" or "no". He refused to speculate on the causes of the downfall of the Iraqi government and answered only "history will tell" when asked if video clips purporting to prove that Saddam Hussein was alive were genuine, amid speculation at that time that Hussein had been killed during the war.

            His fame quickly evaporated as the war continued into the insurgency phase; from the middle of 2003 onward, he faded from the public spotlight, and was no longer a figure in the war. Al-Sahhaf said that he had surrendered to United States forces, had been interrogated by them and then released.[11][12] He was not charged for his role in Saddam Hussein's government.[12]

            In March 2008, it was reported by The Times that al-Sahhaf was living in the United Arab Emirates.
