Live from ME - it's Baghdad Bob!
Iraq's former information minister Mohammed Saeed Al Sahhaf has been booked by Abu Dhabi television for an extensive interview stretching more than five hours and which will be broadcast in five parts.

Al Sahhaf, who kept assuring an army of journalists that Iraq remained under control despite the advance of US forces into Baghdad, will also disclose secret meetings had taken place between Iraqi and US officials in Europe long before the war but avoided answering other questions about Saddam.

At the height of hostilities, he evoked laughter from journalists with such expressions and the use of scathing and derogatory descriptions of George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and Tony Blair. At one stage he dubbed them "the three stooges." - - from Al Jazeerah News.
