Has anyone heard a follow-up on this if Saddam was actually there?

Either Saddam was there...or the mechanic got shorted by the car dealer. Payback's a b*tch.

Remember Afghanistan. Reports of "cooperation" from locals targeting not-quite-the-Taliban, but other enemies.

Now that the sons are dead many of the organized attacks on our soldiers will decrease as the sons were undoubedly pulling the strings. This is HUGH news.

This report is quite different from the Sky News article at http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-1097747,00.html

Sky News article was posted at FR thread http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/950677/posts

I’m not holding my breath.

That would be because it's 2 different reports. The Sky article is on the (likely) deaths of Uday and Qusay, while this is an unrelated raid trying to pin down the location of Saddam (or IMHO, his corpse).

This was a seperate raid. The sons were found in Mosul. This tip by the mechanic was in Ishaky, Iraq

Thanks for clarification. Meanwhile, my dog continues to tunnel under the yard searching for Saddam.
