SADDAM: NOT A DICTATOR

Michael J. Totten passes on news from the Telegraph, that

the BBC has banned the use of the word “dictator” to describe Saddam Hussein. He was “endorsed” in a “referendum” where he received 100 percent of the “vote.” Therefore, the BBC says Saddam Hussein was “elected” and was not a dictator.

Bizarre.
