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 if your experience is representative, and I'm sure it is--it takes 1.5 times ten to the fifth kilojoules to get through this course! Holy smokes, I THOUGHT I was doing more stress-eating, and now I know! I've only lost four pounds!

Who really gives a rat's @$$ what "the world" sees, much less what it "thinks?"

Fox is now showing celebrations in the square where the statute was pulled down...I hope that the big three networks show the public reactions in their coverage, but I won't hold my breath.

That, and they probably were listening to the enlightened media opinion of Dubya. Yeah. Now in the immortal words of Judge Roy Bean, "Let's give him a fair trial and then hang him."

Gee, I don't know. Maybe the same people who continuously accuse us of mistreatment of prisoners.
My point was really that we are able to act like civilized people, not the villians that the arab world tries to make us out to be.

Senator Tom Dasshole is deeply saddened.
Howie Dean is going to be releasing a statement that the capture of Saddam was illegal and Senator Kennedy will sue to see Saddam released on grounds he was drunk in the Kennedy compound and not consulted as a drunken Kennedy is supposed to be.
Senator Robert Sheets Byrd burns a cross in honor of Chirac's dear dar friend!

Fox is now showing celebrations in the square where the statute was pulled down...I hope that the big three networks show the public reactions in their coverage, but I won't hold my breath. Well, well, well. Fox is showing video of dancing in the streets. I did a quick scan of the major networks and it's talking heads looking like their dogs died.

Are the DUers committing suicide en masse?

Let's start a pool: How long before the ACLU demands that Saddam is assigned a lawyer before any further questioning?
