Uday Hussein set to surrender

Excerpt:

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.



Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

"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."

I would say --"We won't negotiate." Let him stew in his own cowardice. ----Or do a job on the emissary and go get the sick SOB.
