All I see is an audiotape from Saddam mentioning the death of his sons was released but I'm crossing all my fingers and all my toes.

No but they are getting close. They found his last hideout. He left in such a hurry, he left behind his mustache and eyebrows. How will they recognize him now?

Are you sure it wasn't one of his doubles?

The reports I see are the capture of his bodyguard and a tape in which he calls his dead sons martyrs.

Well if people actually beleive Saddam is recording these tapes, that should shut everyone up and convince them the sons were actually killed.

I have trouble believing that they'll want to take him alive, or that he'll want to be taken alive.

You're right about that, Y.

It will be better for the troops if they take him alive, IMHO. Otherwise, the crazies have another martyr.

It's hard to imagine Saddam as a cult hero... but look at the skinheads with their Hitler posters and swastika tattoos.

I guess ANYthing is possible after seeing that.

I can't believe it! Thanks for the links, Violin, I would have missed the news entirely!

OK...so, now we get to hear about the trial for the next five years, right?

Hold your mouse pointer over the link....and look at the status bar on your browser...it can be hidden with javascript, butusually, you can see where a link would take you, before you click on it.

I still don't see anything on Reuters.

Is this an example of that inscrutable British humor?

I thought the same thing Lyra, but then I remembered I never click on a Violin link anyway.

I saw it on reuters and also on Yahoo (not sourced from Reuters.)

In both cases, all it said was there was a rumor 11:15 this morning....and stocks jumped a bit.

I think it was totally unsubstantiated. Totally made up by someone, or some whisper-down-the-lane effect among stockbrokers who had too much coffe.
