テキサス州都ヒューストン紙：フセイン逮捕？うむ、うむ、クリスマス前の怪事
色揚げ七面鳥は感謝祭で、今度はクリスマスか。小細工しきり。
もともと死んでいたのか、押さえていたのか。
テキサスでは、ビン・ラディンの兄も事故死とか、似ているアラブ人のすり替えかも。

U.S. capture man in Iraq
Associated Press
WASHINGTON - U.S. military captured a man in the basement of a building in Tikrit, Iraq, during raids seeking Saddam Hussein, and initial efforts to verify his identity indicate he is the deposed Iraqi dictator, U.S. officials said.
"It certainly looks good," one senior U.S. official said, cautioning more scientific testing, possibly DNA, was being done early Sunday morning to try to confirm the identity.
The official said the captured man's appearance did not immediately look like Saddam, but additional efforts to ascertain his identity indicated he was the former leader.
The officials spoke only on condition of anonymity.
The military raids in and near Tikrit, Saddam's hometown, were based on fresh intelligence and were aimed at capturing Saddam, the officials said, and the man was captured in one of the targeted buildings.
"He was in a cellar of the building. His appearance was such that it made it not immediately certain you could say it was Saddam Hussein," one senior U.S. official said.
But some marks on the man's body and other information gave the U.S. military its first confirmation they might have their target, officials said.
Saddam's capture would be a defining moment in the Iraq war and subsequent rebuilding process, and Bush administration officials have hoped it would lessen or break the organized resistance against U.S. troops that have led to scores of deaths since the end of combat operations.
Saddam proved elusive at least twice during the war, when dramatic military strikes came up empty in their efforts to assassinate him. Since then, he has appeared in both video and audio tapes.
But U.S. officials struck a major blow earlier this year when they killed Saddam's two sons during a raid.
Still, Saddam and uncanny ability to survive kept him out of U.S. custody for more than six months after the war started.
