.........POWs........

Hopefully, some poor slob (Private or Corporal) in the Republican guard is sitting outside their cells right now, hearing of Saddam's death and is contemplating doing THE RIGHT THING by letting these people go.

I know what you mean...good thing i don't have to work until noon tomorrow!

Interesting stuff about them talking about "getting out of Baghdad" when we bombed them, that Rita Cosby is giving, huh?

[retrokitten]

We got a great big convoy trucking through the night...

[Timeout]

A new dawn....how appropriate!

Fox - Rita Cosby reporting that information came from SpecOps. At time of meeting (sources are almost certain Saddam and his son(s) were there) they were talking about escape routes out of the country. We knew where they were all standing and sitting inside the house. Conflicting info whether both sons were there, or if Quesay was killed on the first night. Brits sold Jaguar cell-phone encryption tech to Saddam, his sons, and a few of his inner circle during the Iran/Iraq war. Brits gave us info to break the code, so we've been able to listen to him since the war began. Doubles don't use this service.

Did Rita say spec ops put Onstar into Saddam's Jaguar? he he

"bodies are no longer integrated. "

Hope there's a whole finger around somewhere in that mess for each of them. At least that much left 'integrated' will be easier to find and will relieve the lab boys from running a bajillion samples.

Hey Bagdad Bob .. you can run .. but you cannot hide

From Rita's description, they knew separation of target individuals. Wonder if signal was taken from overhead, and strike called in. Encrypted cell-phone conversations decrypted (nature of signal is expensive, and only used by the real McCoy). Rita should shut-up her pie-hole as to what we can do.

Retro- there would be a reliability problem here. I trust your words and thoughts and would have a hard time believing that you would spew forth lies. Sorry, you seem too honest and above board to carry out that job. :)

[cyncooper]

Aha! I amend my earlier correction.

I had said it was widely thought one son killed on the first night. Then I said tonight evidently it was thought Saddam and both sons were present at this place.

Rita has a source (natch) who says there's conflicting info and it might have been one son with Saddam tonight, as the other son might have been actually killed on first night.

Rita--a read on a Jaguar.

[null and void]

7000 would be very cool, but I doubt we'll reach it.

I don't. But we all may be to drunk to post coherently...

[Tree of Liberty]

Fox - SpecOps have been to the site. Described as a 40-50m wide hole. Some sort of bunker under the home. Don't think they were in the bunker when the bombs hit.

[najida]

Is he kibbles and bits yet?

And I am having sleep over at my brothers because the AC is out....ARGH!

[Wyatt's Torch]

E's not dead.....E's just resting.

[oceanview]

Rita Cosby with some detailed information here about how Saddam communicates, how we tracked him. Special Ops at the actual site! Enormous hole! Someone must have done laser targetting on it for us, I don't think the JDAMS are accurate enough for this.
