The Washington Post reports:

Some of Sahhaf's greatest hits:

"There is no presence of American infidels in the city of Baghdad."

"We butchered the force present at the airport."

"Iraqi fighters in Umm Qasr are giving the hordes of American and British mercenaries the taste of definite death."

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is "a criminal dog." Rumsfeld and President Bush "only deserve to be hit with shoes."

"After we finish defeating all of those animals we will disclose that with facts and figures."

Leibach, a veteran of the Jimmy Carter White House and the offices of Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and former senator Robert Torricelli (D-N.J.), told us: "There was great concern on Monday when we heard that his office was bombed. In all my years in this business, I have never seen anyone handle himself with such 'skill' as he demonstrated during his press briefing yesterday -- with his Ministry of Information building literally on fire, causing him to move his news conference to the sidewalk, and with the flames visible behind him, saying with a straight face that they had 'the infidels' on the run, that the Iraqis are winning this war. They just don't teach you that in college. This is a PR guy who may give new meaning to 'knowing how to take a bullet' for a client. Literally."

I have been unable to confirm rumours that the coalition wants to retain the minister's services so that he can advocate for their WMD search project.
