I guess this was the real rumor that got the Dow up. Maybe it had nothing to do with Bin Laden.

I'm surprised that FoxNews hasn't picked up on this yet. Only MSNBC on it so far... The source was Reuters, which they all have access to.

It was reported 2 days ago that we had 5 men in custody but would not release their names only that Saddum was not one of them, this could be who it was.

I am serious, that is probably why it was not announced, or maybe the old crippled evil a-hole was hard to ID.

Ali: "I won't talk!"

Interogator: "He won't talk. OK, bring in the Kurds."

Ali: "I'll talk!"

Saddam Cousin 'Chemical Ali' Caught in Iraq - CNN

Thu August 21, 2003 07:28 AM ET

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Ali Hassan al-Majid, a feared cousin of Saddam Hussein nicknamed "Chemical Ali" for his use of poison gas in attacks, has been captured by U.S. forces in Iraq, CNN said on Thursday. CNN said it had no further details of where Majid had been detained. He was number five on a U.S. list of the 55 most wanted Iraqis and the "king of spades" in a U.S. army deck of cards depicting fugitive members of Saddam's government.

His bio says:

Herbert received a B.S. degree in journalism from the State University of New York

I'll have to admit, he's gotten really good at BS journalism.
