THOSE WONDERFUL FRENCH

Oda Hussein, Saddam's demon-spawn, is not a nice man. The rotten apple didn't fall far from the tree, I suppose: He's known for committing pretty much every act of senseless brutality known to man. When Iraq's Olympic athletes (who knew they had any?) don't perform well, Oda orders a round of amputations. That's the kind of boy Saddam raises.

The French, who've been cozy with Saddam's regime for a while now, apparently like him so much that they won't make a fuss when his boy does nasty things to French citizens:

a former French official told 20/20 of an equally bizarre, more recent account allegedly involving Odai and a delegation of French college students in 2000.
Two of the students, a man and a woman, told French authorities that Odai invited them to a party in their honor at a Baghdad hotel. But when they got to Odai's room, they say three of his bodyguards forced them at gunpoint to have sex with each other while being taped on video.

According to Alexis Debat, who was a desk officer at the French Ministry of Defense at the time, the French government concluded there was little they could do about it. "I mean, after all, this is Saddam Hussein's son," said Debat, who is now a consultant for ABCNEWS."
