Saddam held by Kurds, drugged and left for US troops: report
Saddam Hussein was captured by US troops only after he had been taken
prisoner by Kurdish forces, drugged and abandoned ready for American
soldiers to recover him, a British tabloid newspaper has reported.

Do you think that's really true? I'm not saying it isn't, for certain, but I
wold think any Kurds would just kill him if they came across him. There are the
same Kurds whose family members he gassed thousands of back in the 80's, right?

Saddam came into the hands of the Kurdish Patriotic Front after being
betrayed to the group by a member of the al-Jabour tribe, whose
daughter had been raped by Saddam's son Uday, leading to a blood feud,

That's right, not a: "drugging & capturing feud".

Something smells a little fishy about this story.

............why would you tinnk that? If a British tabloid prints it, it's
got to be true.

No I don't beleive it, but I was a bit 'taken-in' that it made the ABC
News online website..... and the story is all over the Arabic and
Aussie Media.

http://english.aljazeera.net/HomePage appears to report a lot that
doesn't make it to other media. Feel free to agree or disagree, there is
no reason to consider them more credible than the CNN, nor to consider
them less credible, both stations may tell the thruth, but omit
different parts of it.

No I don't beleive it,

It makes perfect sense. It makes more sense than the official US
version, it as the very minimum makes sense that covert happenings have
taken place and as covert scenarios go it is even modest.

but I was a bit 'taken-in' that it made the ABC
News online website..... and the story is all over the Arabic and

The original family comments "he was drugged by us soldiers" did not
make sense, with this tale added it all makes sense.
