Bringing things back to the original topic of the thread, there's apparently some ambiguity on how, exactly, Saddam was captured. I heard them talking about it on the radio this morning, so I went digging for some articles on the topic. This could very well be bunk, but check out this article from KurdishMedia. The gist is that Saddam may have been captured, much earlier, by Kurdish folks who turned him over to the Americans in return for staying quiet and letting the Americans take the credit. Or, maybe they just figured out where he was and the Americans swept in and took the credit. Or, maybe something else.
