"He is walking about and goes out at night to visit the countryside, villages and towns," Chavez told cocoa workers east of Caracas.

And he is going by the nom de plume of "The Midnight Commie Rambler" or in spanish "el vivir muerto uno"!

Fidel Castro was walking about and making nocturnal trips outside Havana

Sounds like he's haunting Cuba for Halloween. (...which would be an improvement over the type of haunting he's been doing for years.)

NPR will be off the air for a week.

The DNC upside down American flag will be at half-staff for a month.

He is probably another one of those dictators they will freeze and roll out once a year for festivities!

"Castro has been rumored dead for three months now, yet he has been seen 'making nocturnal trips outside Havana...'"

Recall that Castro believes in a Santaria, kinda like voodoo. He may have become the first zombie communist dictator.

"Here is how you will know when Fidel Castro is really dead. NPR will be off the air for a week."

And Dan Rather will be on suicide watch.

On June 25, 2003, the London newspaper The Daily Mirror reported that al-Sahaf had been captured by coalition troops at a roadblock in Baghdad. The report was not confirmed by military authorities and was denied by al-Sahaf's family through Abu Dhabi TV. The next day al-Sahaf himself recorded an interview for the Dubai-based al-Arabiya news channel. Al-Sahaf said that he had surrendered to US forces and had been interrogated by them. He was reportedly paid as much as $200,000 for the television interview, during which he appeared very withdrawn in contrast with the bombastic persona he projected during the war. Many of his answers consisted of a simple "yes" or "no". He refused to speculate on the causes of the downfall of the Iraqi government and answered only "history will tell" when asked if video clips purporting to prove that Saddam Hussein was alive were genuine, amid speculation at that time that Hussein had been killed during the war.

His fame quickly evaporated as the war continued into the "insurgency" phase; from the summer of 2003 onward, he faded from the public spotlight, and is no longer a figure in the war.

Although questioned by American authorities, al-Sahaf was released, and there has been no suggestion of charging or detaining him for his role in the Saddam Hussein government. He is now living in the United Arab Emirates with his family.

When asked where he had gotten his information he replied "authentic sources - many authentic sources". [2] He pointed out that "he was a professional, doing his job".
