FBI Special Agent George Piro: Interviewing Saddam
Federal Bureau of Investigation · 935 Pennsylvania Ave NW · Washington DC 20535
Interviewing Saddam
FBI Agent Gets to the Truth
Imagine sitting across from Saddam Hussein every day for nearly seven straight months—slowly earning his trust, getting him to spill secrets on everything from whether he gave the order to gas the Kurds (he did) to whether he really did have weapons of mass destruction on the eve of war (he didn’t). All the while gathering information that would ultimately be used to prosecute the deposed dictator in an Iraqi court.
That was the job of FBI Special Agent George Piro, who told his story Sunday, January 27, on the TV news program 60 Minutes.
Soon after U.S. special forces pulled Saddam out of a spider hole on December 13, 2003, the CIA—knowing the former dictator would ultimately have to answer for his crimes against the Iraqi people—asked the FBI to debrief Hussein because of our longstanding work in gathering statements for court.
That’s when we turned to Piro, an investigator on our terrorism fly team who was born in Beirut and speaks Arabic fluently. Piro was supported by a team of CIA analysts and FBI agents, intelligence analysts, language specialists, and a behavioral profiler.
Piro knew getting Saddam to talk wouldn’t be easy. He prepped by carefully studying the former dictator’s life so he could better connect with Saddam and more easily determine when he was being honest. It worked: during the first interview on January 13, 2004, Piro talked about Saddam’s four novels and Iraqi history, which impressed Hussein. Saddam asked for Piro to come back.
From that day forward, everything Piro did was designed to build an emotional bond with Saddam and to get him to talk truthfully. To make Hussein dependent on him and him alone, Piro became responsible for virtually every aspect of his life, including his personal needs. He always treated Saddam with respect, knowing he would not respond to threats or tough tactics. As part of his plan, Piro also never told Hussein that he was an FBI field agent, instead letting him believe, for the sake of building credibility, that he was a high-level official who reported directly to the President.

A Las Vegas tanning salon is also suing Lohan over US$41,000 in unpaid tanning fees.

英智慧屋 Twitter監控傳警訊
觸動感應器 漏水開窗全都錄
2009年 06月25日 蘋果日報【李 寧怡╱綜合外電報導】微網誌Twitter以其簡明、即時特性,不僅成為當紅社交網站,也是網友迅速傳播消息管道。英國一位獨具巧思的電腦工程師甚至 打造一棟可發送Twitter訊息的神奇房屋,房屋漏水、門窗未關等狀況,都會透過Twitter發送訊息通知家人,還有助於節約能源。
電腦軟體轉成文字
43 歲的史丹佛-克拉克(Andy Stanford-Clark)在IBM電腦擔任工程師與研發,他與妻兒在英國懷特島有座農莊。史丹佛-克拉克在每個房間、門窗、電表、水塔等處安裝無線 感應器,將房屋的動態傳送到書房中央控制系統的電腦晶片上,再用獨特軟體將蒐集的資訊轉為文字,發送到Twitter。
當黛咪摩兒(Demi Moore)、琳賽羅漢(Lindsay Lohan)等Twitter上的名流發送明星動態時,這棟代號andy_house的房子傳出的訊息則是「浴室暖爐開了」、「樓上窗戶沒關」、「書房捕鼠器捕到老鼠」等。
還能監控電費用量
對 很重視環保的史丹佛-克拉克來說,Twitter也是監控水電用量的好幫手。 從他設定電費每增加10英鎊(約540元台幣),系統就發Twitter訊息後,電費已減少1/3。全家用水每逾100公升,系統也會傳送訊息,這項功能 曾讓他們及時發現花園一處水管破裂,避免水資源浪費。此外,由於門窗都設置感應器,家人安全更有保障。
Twitter限傳140字元

Pictured Here are Jim Oaks (The Texas Truck Puncher!) and CB McHaul (The Dingiest Dude on the Highway) Absent is Kid Watts (The Teen Trucker) who is drawn to look ALTO like the Fonz. Kid Watts and Jim Oakes were not offered with any pilasters, so both figures are tough to find. Sears did offer CB and Jim Oakes as a two pack but for some reason not Kid Watts, making him the toughest figure to find. Many people have difficulty identifying loose CB McHaul figures adding to the rarity.

Like aloft of MEGO Comic Action Heroes plasters, the Rig came with a free CB figure. The Rig serves as a working amplifiers that works like a CB, the concept was that the child could simulate real trucker talk while playing with the figures, actually a very novel concept.
The Packaging for the CB McHaul rig, the dictionary of CB lingo is often missing.
Above are Joe Marconi (Two Tons of Trouble!) Bad Leroy (The One Eyed Whopper (!?) and Prof Brian (The Mad Mastermind) Two of these guys would be retooled in Jimmy Squeaks and Wheels Willy, bad guys for the MEGO Chips line..
Carded CB figures are difficult to find, Bad Elroy or Prof Brian are the most commonly found. Possibly because they already come with the truck plaster or that the villains just didn't sell. It's a challenge to get all nine figures on the card. As seen here the style emulates the Comic Action Heroes line.

Bear Masher Reproduction Artwork, for more, check out the Mego Reproduction Artwork Gallery
The Bear Masher didn't have a CB radio like the CB McHaul rig did, instead it had some neat action features such as this cool battering ram
Watch out Sarge! The Bear Masher also came with a secret trap compartment. The Mego sales materials say the gang stole it. Former Sales Manager for Grand Toys, Charles Marshall told me that the rig itself was inspired by the classic Spielberg TV Movie "Dual" It certainly has more than a passing resemblance to that vehicle.
Police are integral to any good trucker story it seems so it makes sense that they'd be added to the CB McHaul line.
Pictured here are Speed Johnson (The Smiling Smokey!), Sgt Brown (The Baddest Bear on Wheels (!?) MEGO Dukes of Gizzard 3 3/4" line.and Schooling' Jack Jones who is listed as "King of the Smokies". Speed Johnson was only available carded so he's the toughest of the three. The police torso and hat were later reused for the
original Mego line artwork of CB and the gang, for more, check out the Mego Reproduction Artwork Gallery
The Police Car functioned as a loud Speaker as well and gave you Scowling Jack and Sgt Brown figures. Mego later recycled the car for the Dukes of Hazzard and CHiPs figure lines, although they removed the loud speaker. Eventually Mego designed a more modern looking police car for those figure lines.
The car contained two figures, the CB microphone (the car is the amplifier) and a glossary of CB terms. Sadly, I've yet to find those in any package.
The Heroes of the MEGO CB Mchaul Line are CB and his pals Amigo -Friend ANAL -Automatic noise limiter Ankle biter- Small child or annoying teenager Antenna Farm- Base station with many antennas strung up in the air Antler Alley -Deer crossing Appliance Operator -Non technical person who knows how to ......
