SADDAM HUSSEIN CAPTURED
Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has been captured in his home town of Tikrit, according to reports.
There has been no independent verification of the news but Sky New's Foreign Editor Tim Marshall says the source of the news is usually reliable.
The US Defence Department says it has had no confirmation of the claims, which come from Iraqi Kurd leader Jalal Talabani, says the Iran news agency IRNA.
Hundreds of exultant people have taken to the streets of Kirkuk, firing weapons into the air in celebration.
A press conference has been announced for 12pm GMT.
In Baghdad, a spokeswoman for the US-led operation notified reporters that a "very important" announcement will be made at the press conference.

Shep Smith reports that...
Pres. Bush may have learned of Saddam's capture on Sat. afternoon, SOD Rumsfeld called him at Camp David first, to tell him of the possible success of the raid. Amb. Bremer called later to confirm from Iraq.

Actually, the Left canceled CHRISTmas long ago — neutered it into some unrecognizable secular holiday intended solely for the buying and giving of material goods.

That's one of my favorite pics of the Euro-weenies. Shows them for exactly what they are — small, befuddled men with small minds who can't lead themselves out of a paper bag.
