I find it difficult to believe that Saddam would have been found in one piece if the Kurds had had him.

I have to doubt that any kurd would have left him alive.

He was held prisoner, with a pistol and 2 rifles? And the prison was hidden/camoflaged underground??

I think some information is missing.

And left him with a pistol, AK-47, and $750,000 bucks. Smart Kurds.

They let him go? That seems improbable.

IMHO, this story is a steaming heap of Barbara Streisand.

Saddam was held prisoner by a leader of the Kurdish Patriotic Front, which fought alongside US forces during the Iraq war, until he negotiated a deal. The deal apparently involved the group gaining political advantage in the region.

And Saddam was able to negotiate a deal giving the group political advantage in the region. I didn't realize he would have such political influence after his capture.

This did not happen. The Kurds would have (literally) eaten him alive. Look at the source of the article. It's probably some Clinton lackey sitting in a basement somewhere with an old Corona typewriter and a table covered with crack.

Please remove this from Breaking News. It doesn't deserve the dignity.

Whatever, to all of it.

Yeah, I know, newsworthy eh.

Bottom line, all that matters. Saddam is no longer running Iraq.

Again: Saddam is no longer running Iraq.

Period. All that matters. The end.

Fantastic Arab conspiracy theories that can be disproven by any 5-year old with a newspaper do not qualify as 'Breaking News'

Saddam came into the hands of the Kurdish Patriotic Front after being betrayed to the group by a member of the al-Jabour tribe, whose daughter had been raped by Saddam's son Uday, leading to a blood feud, reported the Sunday Express, which quoted an unnamed senior British military intelligence officer.

Oh, bull! Yeah, and I'm sure they took the time to dig him a ventilated, camouflaged spider hole and to make the farmhouse he was found next to look "lived in," too.

All these left-wing, reflexively anti-American British journalists can go try to swallow a flaming plum pudding whole.
