An Ace in the Hole
Would you look at that! A fallen dictator. As one more name is scratched off the 55 most wanted list, keep up to date
with the latest from Iraq or read up on the ex-leader's capture. Also, watch an AFRTS' 2-minute report on the capture of Saddam Hussein (ram format, 1Kbps). Click here.

Commentary by John Weisman
Some background: This photograph of Saddam Hussein in the moment of his capture was emailed to me over the New Year weekend by a friend in the Special Forces community, who was damn proud of what his former colleagues in Iraq had accomplished when they pulled the dictator out of his hole. I thought the photo deserved wide dissemination, so I emailed it to my colleagues at Military.com, where I write my Black Ops column.
While the Soldiers in the field may have loved the idea of showing Saddam au naturel, not everyone felt that way. In fact, Military.com received a call from an official asking them to remove the photo for national security reasons. To me, this official was being myopic, and his perception has NOT been echoed by the guys in the trenches, who obviously know a great picture when they see one. In fact, I'd like to see this photograph posted in every public building in the U.S., so that Americans can be reminded to thank the American Soldiers who put their lives on the line every day to keep this nation safe and free. HOOAH, Army. Bravo Zulus.
