gets to Robert Fisk.

- In paragraph 7 his recent story:
-
- 'War Takes An Inhuman Twist With Cats, Dogs And Donkeys
Turned Into Bombs'
-
- By Robert Fisk
-
- Specifically...Paragraph 7:
-
- "Even the laundry has its excitements. Every evening,
Hassan will call on the house phone and scream, "Laundry!" -
to make sure I am at home and ready to tip him for my cleaned clothes.
A few minutes later Hassan is at the door. "Laundry!" he bawls,
as if the mere production of my tired old shirts and socks is a political
victory to rival the invasion of his country. I know the routine well.
I smile like a newly freed prisoner. I express the thanks of the doomed
that my clothes have been returned on their dirty red hangers. I hand over
3,000 Iraqi dinars. Then I smell the petrol. My shirts and pants and socks
smell of benzene. Only yesterday did I dare to ask why. I padded down to
the receptionist, who explained the problem to me very gently. "Mr
Robert, if there is some spot on your shirt, something they can't clean
with soap and water, they use the benzene." Understood! No problem
then. My shirts smell of petrol because they are so clean."

- NOTE - Throw the clothes away...NEVER bring benzine near
your skin or to where it is breathable. It is a very deadly carcinogen
among other things. It is NOT the way to clean clothes. If someone wanted
to make you seriously ill, benzene is a Class A ticket... -- Jeff Rense

- We received the following note from Ms. Cheryl Thompson.
She is 100% correct...
-
- Dear Jeff,
-
- Funny as Fisk's account of the laundry saturating his
clothes in benzene may have appeared, please get a message to him. He must
throw out those clothes. Benzene is a carcinogen; and according to Hulda
Clark (author of "A Cure For All Diseases"), it's going to tip
his whole system into cancer under the stress he's under right now.

- Jeff - 'benzene' may just be the vernacular for petrol/gas.
In Polish sometimes the word `benzina` is used for petrol. But apart from
that the spelling is critical, awareness of which is not evident in the
news item.
