CAUGHT AT LAST, CAUGHT AT LAST,
THANK GOD ALMIGHTY AND THE US ARMY,
HUSSEIN'S CAUGHT AT LAST

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Sanchez described the operation that captured Saddam. The general said it was a cordon-and-search operation, and coalition forces sustained no casualties. In fact, he said, coalition forces never fired a shot.

“For the last several months, a combination of human intelligence tips, exceptional intelligence analytical efforts and detainee interrogations narrowed down the activities of Saddam Hussein”

-- The streets of Baghdad erupted with “celebratory gunfire,” according to correspondents in the Iraqi capital. Officials said some Iraqi regime diehards may launch attacks, but that coalition forces are prepared. In the long term, officials said, they see the capture as going a long way to bring stability to the country.

What is a "spider hole?"

[Viking2002]

The news and info is flowing so fast, it makes my head spin. But thank God he's finally been run down and locked up. I can only imagine the thoughts running through the head of the G.I. when he realized who he was looking at in the bottom of that hole.

[jaz.357]

I wonder if he was "FROG MARCHED" out of that spider hole!

Has anyone heard anything about the pictures above? Are these before and after pictures taken today/yesterday? Was he allowed to clean up, shave and then be rephotograghed? The backgrounds look like the same tile. Just curious.
