Whichever story is true, the point is we got him.
I do believe that he was captured by a Kurdish militia, and subsequently handed over to US troops, simply because a)it makes sense, b) news reports just prior to the announcement of Hussein's capture back that up, and c) this is an administration that is known to lie even about the small things, in order to make themselves look as good as possible.
Really, I'd prefer 1000 little white lies like this over one really big, harmful lie (Niger).
