Let's hope they got him this time.

Hope this is true- now, there is no info exept that. This Jalal Talabani guy may only be wanting to gather attention.

Saddam may have a chance to clean his name...
If he won't die in misterious circumstances.

Are american sources confirming that?

Well... Still seven of them to catch- is that how many doubles Saddam had?

www.abc.net.au...

Still unconfirmed it seems.

I'm just hoping the reports are true!


P.S. Hope they shot that foo in the foot or something.

I just woke up and seen these reports. If this is true this is HUGE. I will hold my breath until I see this confirmed. Im ecstatic at the possibility of having him captured though.

This is what's on the CNN main site now in the "Breaking News" banner. 5:42AM NY time.

U.S. forces capture a number of wanted Iraqis in Tikrit, possibly including former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, U.S. officials say. Identities still being confirmed.

FOXNews has this as their banner:

Report: Saddam Hussein Captured in Iraq

EDIT to add another banner i saw right after.

A spokeswoman for US-led coalition forces in Baghdad said that a "very important" announcement would be made at a news conference at 1200 GMT but would not give further details.

P.S. Fulcrum puked again!

Fulcrum, you can stand solitary and fill out nomination papers for saddam to get the peace prize. The rest of the civilized world will cheer the capture of this murderous lunatic.

On Fox News you can hear the gunfire behind the reporter as the news gets out. There's going to be a big party in the desert today

I just heard this on CBS news. It looks like it was kept under wraps for a while. go figure.

*edit- just heard they're doing blood tests on him to make sure its really him.*

Does anyone know what exactly Hussein is being, or will be, charged with?

Whatever would this be, it will be made up, just like with Slobodan Milocevitz..
