mikkey 0 #1 December 14, 2003 From the BBC - Hope it is correct. Would be good news.. Quote Ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has been arrested in Iraq, according to an unconfirmed report. The former Iraqi leader was detained in his ancestral home town of Tikrit, the official Iranian news agency IRNA reported. The US Defence Department said it had no confirmation of the report. Saddam Hussein is the most wanted man on the list issued by US authorities but has not been seen since Baghdad fell to US forces in April. --------------------------------------------------------- When people look like ants - pull.

boudy 0 #10 December 14, 2003 Well, the prospect of our people coming home whole & sooner than previously anticipated is certainly a very high hope & prayer among everyone I know. Congrats to our troops - a moral & tactical victory for the good guys. Hopefully, US troops capturing this criminal hiding like a rat in a dark cellar will embolden the Iraqi populace to help snuff out the resistance & ambushs from Saddam's old regime & the Islamist fanatics as well.
