Killing Saddamâs sons âright decisionâ: U.S. general
Some of you were worried that Saddamâs sons were not mirandized. Well, so is the CBC...The option of surrounding Uday and Qusay Hussein and waiting them out was considered and rejected, a U.S. general told a media briefing on Wednesday. Lt.-Gen. Ricardo Sanchez said they did give Saddam Husseinâs sons the opportunity to surrender Tuesday, and were fired at with assault rifles in response. The commanders on the ground had orders to either capture or kill, and they made their choice. "It was the right decision," Sanchez said. Compare with FoxNewsâ headline: "âNo Doubtâ About Uday, Qusay." (oops, itâs been taken off, but it was there honestly) Posted by: Rafael 2003-07-23 |
