That is absurd. Even if they know what bedroom in what house he is staying in, there is no guarantee they will capture him alive. There have been reports that he is wearing a suicide belt. It probably is unsafe to capture him alive.

I would be happy for him to be dead. It might be better that way. If by capture, they mean his body will by ours one way or another, well then right on.

Better he dies than we take him into custody - if we capture him, he (and those Americans guarding him) will be a target for every islamanut in Iraq and the surrounding countries, trying to free him, etc. and those American troops guarding him would be in a very dangerous position.

Plus, captured alive, he would be worth more to his backers than were he dead. The whole "they can't kill me" thing going on. Also, I think many Iraqis would be intimidated that he was still alive.

I want to see him on a mortuary slab, would take the wind out of his supporters' sails to say the least.

That's the bad part because, if true, there won't be any body left to put on display, and identification would probably have to rely on DNA.
