PROOF

[John Bailey]

Told that other sources had confirmed the existence of weapons of mass
destruction, Mr. Hussein stared intently into his salad and poked
around with his fork, either looking for an answer among the summer
beets, fighting back a grin or both.

“I’m staying out of it!” Mr. Hussein said eventually. “No. No. I
just...” He trailed off, running a finger across his proud, thick
moustache, a pained look on his face. “Somebody spent a long time
deciding not to have something out there. There’s a reason for that.
So I’m just going to step out of that.”
