What is truly interesting is not just the US claim of capturing Saddam Hussein, but the claiming of an elaborate operation that ended successfully (much like the scripting of the rescue of Jessica Lynch). Not only did that elaborate operation not work (if it existed at all), but the Kurds had him trapped in a hole while the US got the media apparatus together for the "dramatic" events.

What is also worrisome, but not unexpected, is the virtual silence of the US and British press. ABC News Online was the only US-based news I found, and it was a copy of the Agence French Press report.

1. I can't get the links to be "clickable." Sorry. Go to the website if you

want to "quicklink" to any of the stories. Can't figure out why they don't copy. Sorry. :-(

2. They all seem to refer to the same British tabloid story

I would love for someone else to independently pick up the story. I also want the gun and $750K explained. Before the mainstream press picks it up, that's what needs to be done.

Great site! Thanks for posting.
