Hussein Son, Uday, Is Thinking of Surrendering to U.S.  
Friday, May 23, 2003 00:40 AM ET  
 
NEW YORK -- Saddam Hussein's eldest son, Uday, is considering surrendering to U.S. forces, but so far has been reluctant to do so because of a tough negotiating posture by the U.S. government, a third party with knowledge of the discussions told The Wall Street Journal.

U.S. officials in Washington had no comment. Uday Hussein, who is hiding in a Baghdad, Iraq, suburb, wants to know what the charges against him will be, and the process for interrogation and custody, the person familiar with the discussions said. He is working through intermediaries. U.S. officials don't seem especially interested in cutting a deal, because they assume Uday will be caught sooner or later, the person said.

Uday was commander of Iraq's feared paramilitary unit known as the Saddam Fedayeen, and he was also chairman of the Iraqi Olympic Committee. He is No. 3 on the coalition's most-wanted list, after his father and his brother, Qusay.

Uday fears that Iraqi citizens will kill him if they find him, and may instead choose the safety of a U.S. prison, the person said, adding that Uday frequently changes his mind about surrendering.

So far, 25 of the top 55 most-wanted Iraqis are in coalition custody.

Saddam Hussein is also alive and in suburban Baghdad, the person familiar with Uday's surrender discussions said he has been told by a Saddam relative. He added that the deposed leader is in questionable mental health. The U.S. government has asked intermediaries for help in finding him or negotiating a surrender, but this person knows of no progress.

Wall Street Journal Staff Reporter Jeffrey Zaslow contributed to this report.

...deposed leader is in questionable mental health.

If this means that he is crazy it is no revelation.

He added that the deposed leader is in questionable mental health.

All he needs to do now is hire Mark Geragos and Johnny Cochran to defend him on an insanity plea......

Uday better be dead after his trial. The death penalty is the only sentence this guy deserves. I don't want tthe US giving in to those idiotic Euro Weenies because we're going to stretch his neck. No wimpy lethal injection.

He can't do that. He's dead. You can't surrender when you're dead. Basic law of the universe.

"Saddam is alive in a Baghdad suburb and in questionable mental health".

Ah, yes, the groundwork is being laid already.

When he faces the war criminal tribunal, will Sodom plead Attention Deficit Disorder or Post-Partum Depression?

Will he demand a change of venue to Berkeley?

Will ace defense attorney Mark Geragos be done with the Laci case in time to take this one on?

Amused minds want to know.

Ah, but before that, I think Uday should get a place of honor at any large-scale
march/celebration in the USA marking end of the Iraq operations.

Maybe it was just in "Patton" the movie, but IIRC, Patton was p-ssed when he
heard that Hitler had killed himself..."D-mn, I wanted to lead that paper-hangin'
sonuvab-tch up Pennsylvania Avenue!"
