Re: moral dilemma (Political OT Joke)

Ray,
so far the discussion seems to be between going cyanotype or Rhodinal....

About having Saddam Hussein save Bush, that would mean you would have to
stage the rescue - turning it into a photo op - which would be unethical
journalistically... Unless Saddam was wearing a flight jump suit and there
was a banner behind him stating "Mission accomplished."
