We discussed on the OIF thread Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf's disappearance and it was suggested that maybe he was captured and we're keeping it a secret. Apparently, he wasn't, or Gen. Brooks would have answered the question about his being on the cards differently.

Our intelligence is piss-poor in my opinion if we can't get a media ham like Baghdad Bob in our clutches, and it makes me wonder about the accuracy of the "we knew where Saddam was and we blew him up real good" reports from reporters on the news channels. At least the others stayed in hiding. This really irritates me and it should irritate everyone else that this idiot will probably never be held to account for the things he did in Hussein's regime.

Being Information Minister isn't an entry level job for Joe off the street. I'd bet good money that Bob has killed dissidents personally and I know he's ordered the deaths of dissidents. He should have been the subject of the first Iraqi-judged war tribunal-- have the people of Iraq execute him as they see fit.

I certainly agree. I don't see how someone can be a highly placed official in that regime without having blood on their hands. He was a cartoonish figure, but in reality he was probably brutal and sadistic.
