Quote:You agree that all the (unnamed) Kurdish \"official\" said was that he was caught. He was in custody for quite sometime before they announced it, so I guess that's a dead argument. Next?Unnamed Kurdish official? Why, you must be referring to a different article, since the one I linked to specifically does mention not one, but two names.
Quote:\"I confirm that Saddam has been arrested,\" <b><u>Nazem Dabag</b></u>, representative in Iran of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), told Reuters.
The official Iranian news agency IRNA quoted PUK leader <b><u>Jalal Talabani</b></u> as saying that Saddam had been captured in his home town of Tikrit.
\"The American forces in Tikrit announced that Saddam was arrested on Sunday. The Americans said that they will announce the news officially in the next few hours,\" IRNA quoted Talabani as saying.
There you go, since you missed it the first time.

(OK, this is the part that you make the basless accusation that I believe everything America says.)No, this is the part where I say I, unlike you, am above ad hominems and strawmen.
