Poor Saddam,...

I guess Sen. "DICK" Durbin doesn't know about this torture, huh?

Report: Saddam Friendly With U.S. Troops
By RICHARD PYLE

NEW YORK (AP) - Thrust unexpectedly into the role of prison guards for Saddam Hussein, a group of young American soldiers found the deposed Iraqi leader to be a friendly, talkative ``clean freak'' who loved Raisin Bran for breakfast, did his own laundry and insisted he was still president of Iraq, says a report published on Monday.

The article quotes the GIs on Saddam's eating preferences - Raisin Bran Crunch was his breakfast favorite. ``No Froot Loops,'' he told O'Shea. He ate fish and chicken but refused beef at dinner.

For a time his favorite food was Cheetos, and when those ran out, Saddam would ``get grumpy,'' the story says. One day the guards substituted Doritos corn chips, and Saddam forgot about Cheetos. ``He'd eat a family size bag of Doritos in 10 minutes,'' Dawson says.

Saddam prayed five times a day in his cell and kept a Quran that he claimed to have found in some rubble near the underground hideout. ``He proudly showed (it) to the boys because it was burned around the edges and had a bullet hole in it,'' the story says.
