Replying to Americas recent capture
ABC News Online(Australian Broadcast) reported, '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.'
China Daily news reports '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, reported the Sunday Express {England}, which quoted an unnamed senior British military intelligence officer.'
The Palestine Chronicle reported that there was a negotiated political cost to the US making this famous capture. They wrote, 'Saddam was held prisoner by Talabani until he negotiated a deal.'
This story is starting to show up everywhere through the international news wires. Yahoo News posted, 'The deal apparently involved the group gaining political advantage in the region.'
David Pratt of the Scotland Sunday Herald asks 'If the PUK {Kurds} themselves pulled off Saddam's capture, there would be much to gain from taking the $25m bounty and any political guarantees the Americans might reward them with to keep schtum. What's more, Jalal Talabani's links to Tehran have always worried Washington, and having his party grab the grand prize from beneath their noses would be awkward to say the least.'
Who are these militant Kurdish forces? Are we making deals with other radicals? Lets hope we are not creating and funding the next Saddam somewhere else.
