Frank Perdue in Iraq?

I missed this on Christmas Eve when it was originally posted by MEMRI, but apparently our nominal allies in the Saudi government daily Al-Watan are accusing the U. S. Army of illegally harvesting organs from dead and dying Iraqis.
"Secret European military intelligence reports" indicate the:

"...transformation of the American humanitarian mission in Iraq into a profitable trade in the American markets through the practice of American physicians extracting human organs from the dead and wounded, before they are put to death, for sale to medical centers in America. A secret team of American physicians follow the troops during their attacks on Iraqi armed men to ensure quick [medical] operations for extracting some organs and transferring them to private operations rooms before they are transferred to America for sale. "The reports confirm the finding of tens of mutilated cadavers or cadavers missing parts. Some were found without a head. The American military command could not offer reasons to explain the bewilderment about the missing parts, suggesting that this may have been caused by the penetration of bullets to the [missing] parts."
Of course, you will note the unimpeachable resources cited by the Saudis.

Secret intelligence reports, vague reports of missing organs from the cadavers of combat casualties, and of course, the ever-available anonymous witness. Not one corpse has ever shown up, or course, or any other shred of physical evidence.

Years ago their was a Purdue chicken commerical talking about how the "parts is parts" approach is wrong when making good chicken nuggets. Apparently, the Saudis would have us believe the competitor's line from that commercial that anything would work, and that we were randomly hot-swapping Iraq kidneys into American bodies like so many USB drives.

I guess no one has explained to the Arab street about the complexities of organ transplants. They couldn't know that many organs could not remain viable for the amount of time it would take to type, match, and ship them half-way around the world.

But parts, after all, "is" parts, and one anti-American lie is just as good as another.
