WILL SURRENDER FOR VISA (via Pejmanesque):

Iraqis Fight Out of Fear and Fervor (ABC News, 4/3/2003)

Apparently, some Iraqi civilians are rushing to surrender to American troops under the false impression that they will be taken to the United States.

"We had a group like that a few days ago," says Medley. "One guy wanted to go to America, bad. He wasn't a soldier. He wanted a baseball cap. When we put him on a helicopter, he thought he was going to America--he was smiling the whole time."

Doesn't the Geneva Convention require us to give them green cards? Somebody tell Amnesty International about this! Posted by Paul Jaminet at April 3, 2003 9:00 PM
