#12  WABC radio in NY just reported (10:30 p.m. EST) that the head of the Muhkabarat (sp?) Farook Hijazi (sp?) was just captured by US forces walking over the border from Syria. More good news!

#11  Tariq Aziz is small game compared to .. say.. taking down Galloway and his people.

#10  There was some kind of deal. That means no hangmans rope.

Hopefully after they've gotten everything from him they'll hang him anyway. "He kilt himself in his cell last night. Hanged hizself real good. Yep."

#9  Aziz is jumping ship? I'd say that puts the probability of Saddam dirt-napping at about 99-1.

#8  8 of spades - I just report - I don't make it up (or a least, I don't make up the non-highlighted stuff) ;-)

#7  Why wasn't Aziz higher than an 8 spot? I thought surely he would be a face card.

#2  "Intermediaries for Aziz had been talking to U.S. officials about conditions for a surrender on Wednesday, intelligence sources told ABCNEWS."

There was some kind of deal. That means no hangmans rope. In return for which there must (please, please, please) be some kind of valuable info.
