According to a story on another thread, Saddam killed at least two of his other grandchildren. These misfits are lucky to be alive.

Since Saddam is looking at the death penalty, there doesn't seem to be a good way to get him to talk, unless we let some of his Iraqi victims play with some car batteries. I don't think we would do that.

Perhaps we could exert some leverage by scooping up his children and grandchildren. I am not suggesting that we torture or kill anyone--just make it clear to Saddam that if he doesn't cooperate, his family will be relocated from their world of riches to, perhaps, some Palestinian ghetto in Gaza. After all, their entire fortune was illegally obtained.

Raghad and Rana Saddam Hussein and their nine children were granted refuge in Jordan, where they live in a former palace of King Abdullah II's late father, King Hussein, on a hill in eastern Amman.

Well, up till today, gramps Saddam has been living IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER.....

Presumably, everyone on FR realizes that AFP is Agence Francais Paris; what would you expect from them?

No matter how we feel about Saddam, to them he's still their grandfather. They're children.. be sad that his actions will cause grief to them.

Germany, France, Russia lent Saddam billions... I say we give them the legal mailing addresses of Saddam and offspring and let the countries sue them personally for those funds.

The Iraqi people had nothing to do with the debts... let the countries collect the money from the folks who are still living in palaces with it.

Great idea and since his daughters are still living high on the hog, they have some money.

His wife also stated he gave her $5 million when she left Iraq...

The daughters and wives could easily get jobs as domestic help somewhere... They're certainly familiar with what is expected of a maid ;-)
