Fox didn't want to step in a pile of embarrassment by announcing Saddam's capture before they could confirm it. I forget what happened, but they did report a major story as wrong a few weeks before by jumping on the story too early.

I'm thinking there's a real rumor floating around the news agencies, not based on the IRNA story. AP wouldn't ordinarily repeat pointless propaganda from Iran, especially when it's a point that some tin-foiler somewhere is making every day.

I can understand caution, but they were at least 20 minutes behind reports coming from every other news station on the air at the time.

Is it possible that Kerry is already getting security briefings? Because last night a story appeared where he impled that capturing bin Ladin wasn't a big deal:

Analysis: Kerry looks beyond Osama
