SADDAM HUSSEIN CAPTURED

Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has been captured in his home town of Tikrit, according to reports.

There has been no independent verification of the news but Sky New's Foreign Editor Tim Marshall says the source of the news is usually reliable.

The US Defence Department says it has had no confirmation of the claims, which come from Iraqi Kurd leader Jalal Talabani, says the Iran news agency IRNA.

Hundreds of exultant people have taken to the streets of Kirkuk, firing weapons into the air in celebration.

A press conference has been announced for 12pm GMT.

In Baghdad, a spokeswoman for the US-led operation notified reporters that a "very important" announcement will be made at the press conference.

So who was the lucky person that got to tell the Pres.?

[TomGuy]

Not sure if this is the group of Coalition Heroes who
made the capture, but they look good anyway [smile]

Here's a DU take on it believe it or not:

This could be a disaster for Bush.

If Saddam stands trial, it could turn out that he could make a case that anything that Bush did was equal or worse than what he did. He could expose his own arming with WMDs by the US.

This is sick

The BBC had a Cambridge U. professor bemoanimg that the US prefers that Saddam be tried in "retributive" Iraq, rather than an international tribunal. - yes the media are going to have to work full time (double shifts and overtime) on this one. I can see it now "apart from the murders the rapes the killings Saddam was really a good honest man...think of all the good things he did for the country - don't be so negative - why do you hate so much...blah.. blah...moveon.blah!" - oh hang on hasn't Dan Rather used this one already for clinton?

[ChemistCat]

No, if he was armed by the US, who was more likely to do the bulk of it? W who took office in January 2001, or Clinton who had charge of the whole shebang for the previous 8 years?

Or Bush Sr. who INVADED AND ALMOST WENT TO BAGHDAD????
