The Hol­i­day Pledge Drive (into which the cur­rent round of fundrais­ing seems to have evolved) has been a rag­ing suc­cess. With the announc­ment that one donor, Cur­ren­cia, would match dona­tions that come in between Dec. 20 and Dec. 24 at 5 p.m., peo­ple have donated $1,006. And it’s not even Christ­mas Eve. Most sen­ti­men­tally for me, one of my child­hood friends, Ken­neth Buswell was the one that put us over the $1,000 mark. As he so elo­quently put it in his dona­tion note: “Keepin’ yo ass alive.” Thanks, man. And thank you _all_ for your gen­er­ous sup­port.
I’m work­ing on see­ing if I can get some com­ments today from my sources in the PUK regard­ing “Saddam’s cap­ture on Dec. 14″:http://www.back-to-iraq.com/archives/000495.php, and after that B2I will take a short hol­i­day break. I’ll be in Lit­tle Rock, Ark., for the hol­i­days with the fam­ily until Sat­ur­day. Happy hol­i­days everyone.
