Betrayed by dates? "...As far as we can determine, the latest date harvest possible in Iraq is in October. We know that most Iraqi dates are harvested in August. The dates shown in the fourth picture here [the 'capture' of Saddam Hussein] are supposedly from December 16, 2003." --submitted by Mark Yannone
"Yellow dates in December? US soldiers lift the cover of the spider hole where Saddam Hussein was hiding, when the troops captured him on December 13. The photograph shows a date palm laden with yellow fruit in the background. One of our readers, Mr. Sabeel Ahmed insists that, normally, yellow dates are seen only during the months of July-August and not in December." --submitted by Jim Mooney
"While it appears in other areas of the middle east, there are several varieties of date that might be described as 'yellow' when they are ripe, one (see Date Palm of Nizwa) maturing into December, there appears to be none in Iraq, and that the yellow dates of Iraq, would appear to be ripened Sept-Oct. In Dec. they would not be." --submitted by Flash
