Wolfowitz said These Iraqis have been living in exile in the United States and Europe since the lj)70s and 1980s and some worked in Iraqi government ministries before fleeing the country another official said In another step toward creating the interim authority Gama is convening cratic Party leader Massoud Baizani and Adnan Pachachi of the Iraqi Independent Democrats Movement Pachachi was foreign minister in the government toppled by Saddam’s Baath Party in its 1968 coup Wolfowitz said he hoped Monday’s meeting would produce at the very least “a feeling that the Iraqis are taking over the process” of building a new future in the aftermath of Saddam’s regime 'Amongapproximately ISO Iraqi exiles heading to Baghdad from the United States are Emad Dhia who left Friday He is an engineer who has been living in Michigan and heads the Iraqi Forum for Democracy a political action group formed in the United States in 1998 Dhia will be the top Iraqi adviser to Garner Others are chemists physicians information specialists and other tech- nocrats The group was put together before the Iraq war started and have been working from an office near the Pentagon Some of the exiles have chosen to keep their identities secret for fear of reprisals by Iraqis who might view them as American agents Many have friends and family members in Iraq the defense official said Fear of a comeback by Saddam's Baathists remains strong among some Iraqis' at Monday’s Wolfowitz said The five others are Ayad Alawi head Of the Iraqi National Accord a Sunni Muslim group Ahmad Chalabi of the Iraqi National Congress a Shiite group Jalal Talabani of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan Kurdistan Demo ' ber of the Colossal Colon’s entourage (yes it has an entourage) to sign a pledge promising to consult with my doctor about my colon I signed the pledge although to be honest I did not consult with my doctor I consulted instead with my friend and longtime medical advisor Gene Weingarten who is widely acknowledged to be the fore-most hypochondriac practicing in America today Gene told me that he’d been screened for colon cancer and that the procedure was not nearly as bad as I imagined This is good because I imagined that it involved a large cruel medical technician named “Horst” and 70000 feet of chairlift cable But Gene assured me that it’s nothing like that and that they make " you very comfortable (by which I mean “give you drugs”) Gene says they make you so comfortable that you’ll be laugh Barry Continued from A4 pleasant enough crawl But pretty soon you start running into bad things: first-- ' Crohn's disease then diverticulosis then polyps then precancerous polyps then colon cancer then advanced colon cancer and finally — just when you see the light at theend of the tunnel and start to think you're safe — you find yourself face to face (so to speak) with one of mankind’s worst nightmares: Hemorrhoids the size of regulation NFL footballs Shaken? You bet I was shaken It was with weak knees that I emerged from the end of the colon (medical name: “The Geraldo”) There I was asked by a mem ‘ - ing and exchanging “high fives” with Horst (make sure he washes his hands fust) So I’m going to get the screening-dait I hope you do too assuming you actually get to see this column I suspect some editors will decide not to print it because it contains explicit wads that some readers may find distasteful such as “Geraldo” If you're one of those readers I apologize if J offended you But remember I’m writing this because maybe — just maybe — it will save your life Ha ha! Not really I’m writing this because I’m a humor columnist and there was a giant colon in town But get yourself screened anyway Dave Bariyfc a humor columnist for the Miami Herald Write to him do The Miami Herald One Herald Plaza Miami FL 33132 Paper Continued from A7 something that’s different Could it have an outcome as to what goes in the paper?
