I found this in another article at Google News....

Among the people arrested or captured, is a big fish ... a major figure whose identity is being verified," said Rubai, when asked about reports that Izzat Ibrahim al-Duri, Saddam's number two, had been captured or killed by US forces.

"The initial results are encouraging and very positive," he said.

Someone on Fox speculated that we may have him but are putting out misinformation deliberately.

I suggest you give the link to your Post #5. If these reports are legit (and they appear to be on face value) this is getting interesting again.

Here's hoping he's dead. Sure sounds like we hurt them bad. If the families are crying, they didn't get away scott free, that's for sure.

Why aren't we seeing more in the media about how attacks are down 50% since this latest crackdown started.

/sarcasm.

"But US army spokesman Sergeant Robert Cargie said “We get our information from the 173rd (Airborne Brigade) and the 173rd is saying they don’t have him.”

Not exactly a straight answer.

The 173rd doesn't have him........therefore he was not captured. There are some missing links in this reasoning.

Interesting. Families crying indicates something happened. Your quote from that article indicates positive news.

Thanks for pinging me!
