My Son, a fairly recent retiree from the U.S Army, is currently working for an international security company and his latest assignment was in Najaf, Iraq. He sent me a link to “Iraq Updates” to allow me to stay more up to date with the current happenings in Iraq. “Iraq Updates” is an English language news website. This morning, there was an interesting headline:
Basra, 13 March 2009
The tourist office of the Babil Governorate in Iraq is offering former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s bedroom in the Al-Hillah Presidential Palace. The director of the Al-Hillah Presidential Palace resort informed journalists yesterday that “the bedroom of former President Saddam Hussein is available for rent to newlyweds for 200,000 Iraqi Dinars [IQD], which is equivalent to $180 dollars, per night.”
I don’t know about you, but this doesn’t sound particularly romantic to me ………… Hmmmmm!
