202. Taken Prisoner in Iraq: A Guest of Saddam Hussein
May 10, 2010
The article that follows is an excerpt from my book, "After Hours: Adventures of an International Businessman", Chapter 5, "Saddam's Guest". Although this Baghdad event happened almost two decades ago, I still think of it as a "current affair". See, Baghdad is still plenty dangerous, and probably mo...

April 26, 2010
I had been homebound with a flu bug for three days. That night I felt a little better, but my temperature was still 102, and I was constantly filmed with greasy, funky, perspiration complete with matted hair and an unshaven face.
