#3 The source said Saddam neither prayed not read the Qurâan so the Arab press can now spin Sammy isn't a real Muslim. Maybe true. After all, RoP.

#4 This doesn't sound like anything more than the usual Arab inability to distinguish fantasy from reality, or truth from falsehood- like that story about how the Kurds really were the ones to capture Saddam, and they drugged him and left him in a hole for U.S. troops to stumble upon.

"Saddam has insisted that his statements are recorded verbatim, the paper said."

I don't think Saddam is in any position to be "insisting" on anything.

#7 Al-Watan Arabic daily quoted a high-level European source as saying.

So, an Arab paper quoted a European official. Neither of those sources are what I would call "reliable enough to report if the sun came up".

#8 RC#7: Arab paper citing another Arab paper quoting some Euro pretending to pass on something he heard 3rd or 4th hand passing through however many languages. This could have started with Saddam trying to rattle interrogators with a chicken-cross-road joke.

#9 This sounds like the Firesign Theater's "Howl of the Wolf News"

.....Those were the headlines, now the rumours behind the news....
