Saddam's Inbox Hacked 764
MotorMachineMercenar writes "Wired News is reporting that Saddam Hussein's email account
(press@uruklink.net)
has been hacked into. The account had a five-letter login with the same password. Messages in his inbox sent from all over the world included everything from death threats to business propositions to offers to sell him WMDs. A choice quote from the article: 'One AOL user sent Saddam a one-word message: 'Imminent.' Attached to the Aug. 6 e-mail was a photograph of an atomic mushroom cloud.' I wonder what the login was."
You'd think it was "press," password "press," but if it were that obvious I think someone would have said so.

Oh, oh, and please pass out white flags. We'd hate to accidently kill one of the many thousands trying to surrender.
And once again, use bio weapons on us, and we'll do something truly evil back: Feed your people. Including the Kurds.
