There is a story making the rounds of the Arabic press today that Dick Cheney's daughter is in Amman and is planning to cross the border into Iraq and volunteer to be a human shield. The story alleges that Cheney is making a visit to Jordan to try to talk her out of it. Presumably the reference is to Mary Cheney, the vice-president's openly lesbian daughter.

I have not been able to find the story in the Western press nor on any of the urban legend sites. Presumably it will make it onto one or the other in the coming days.
