Michael Moore's Minutemen Nazis

Great piece by Wretchard on the Fallujan Sunni Nazis. And a nice comment to put it in perspective:
This is what you get when the enemy is allowed to write the news for you. According to Joseph Goebbels, Hitler was a thoughtful genius who loved dogs. In another not so coincidental bit of news, Hadid is the brother of the head of al-Jazeera in Iraq. And some wondered why al-Jazeera always seemed to be on the scene of suicide bombings.

From memri.org:
ONE OF ZARQAWI’S KEY AIDES WAS OMAR HADID, A MEMBER OF SADDAM’S PRIVATE GUARDS TEN YEARS AGO, WHO WENT TO AFGHANISTAN FOR TRAINING AT AN AL-QA’IDA BASE. OMAR IS THE BROTHER OF HAMID HADID, THE BUREAU CHIEF OF AL-JAZEERA IN IRAQ, WHICH WAS CLOSED THREE MONTHS AGO, BY THE IRAQI GOVERNMENT FOR INCITING VIOLENCE. (AL-SHARQ AL-AWSAT, LONDON, 11/19/04)
Lucky for us there are absolutely no links between Saddam and Osama -- or al Jazeera...
