#1 Jordan is the one Arab player on the Mideast stage with adult leadership. I would bet on Jordan handing her over.

#2 I believe I read Saddam Hussein was related to the Jordanian Royal Husseins in a book about the time of the 90-91 war. A distant cousin is what I recall, but doesn't that require hospitality and protection from Jordan? Family blood is thicker than even the thieves of Muslim brotherhood. Gotta follow the money, though, and the family ties. Saddam's nephews were recently arrested and up to no good, too.

#3 Semi-adult, at least, RWV. I don't know if the young king has given up his grandfather's ambition to rule over a united Jordan reaching the Mediterreanean Sea. He has extended his protection over this Hussein princess-in-exile, who is plotting against the American conquerers of her country. The same Americans that the king claims to be a staunch ally of in the war on terror. He's placed himself in an interesting quandary, trying to play both sides. "So sharp, if he were a knife he'd cut himself," comes to mind.

#4 I also imagine the Jordanians liberally permit observation of her and her activities by interested parties. Who knows how many of her compatriots she has narked?

#5 And, to make it even more interesting, according to James Robbins, as a result of the wedding bombing, the Jordanians have "a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn [al-Zarqawi,] the countrys least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid condolences to Zarqawis family have been arrested for fomenting sectarian strife."

#6 She's probably greasing someone. We're going to have to grease them more to pry her loose.

#7 Why waste money on some trash like Raghead Saddam Hussein al-Tikriti?

Bullet to the head; problem solved. We could charge her family for the bullet. Better yet, sell her to sex clubs in Egypt. These are examples of what her father did to Kurds. I think a punishment based on "what goes around, comes around," is always appropriate.

Jordan has always been extremely pro-Saddam. Nice to see that they are, in fact, the source of much of the trouble in Iraq. I guess this is what happens when most of your population is Palestinian.

Too bad so few of them were iced at the wedding parties in Amman last year.
