One of those arrested Thursday was identified by the U.S. military as being on the "top 55" list but did not give the suspect's name. Two other Iraqi army generals and one general from Saddam's security forces who had disguised himself as a shepherd were also caught.

Saddam? Nah...too good to be true.

Saddam is probably traveling with a very small group of security people.

Does make you wonder why they are keeping his identity secret, doesn't it?

Have they withheld any of the other "most wanted" before?

I know -- you beat me by ten minutes. They are different sources, though and I did a search on the title before posting. You probably got yours up after I searched but before I posted it.

"Jack of Spades"

Hmmm. . . . FL_Engineer has the Jack of Spades listed as being captured on 5/12/03. Is this a retrospective report of the raid made a few days after it occurred or did they catch someone else today?

"We're going to continue to hunt them until they get so tired of running that they give themselves up or we catch them," said Maj. Mike Silverman, operations officer for the 1st Brigade of the 4th Infantry, the Army division that staged the raid.

And how does that make Tommy Daschole feel....?
