Bugging devices have been discovered in German and French offices at the European Union's headquarters in Brussels

Gee, maybe all those "new" Europe countries Chirac chastised and attempted to humiliate publicly, don't like him anymore.

Commando force poised to track and kill Saddam
story.news.yahoo.com

KUWAIT CITY -- Armed with high-tech weapons, night-vision goggles and pictures of their targets, small teams of Delta Force commandos will soon descend on the outskirts of Baghdad to begin the most anticipated mission of the war: capturing or, if possible, killing Saddam Hussein.

Teams of the Army's elite 360-man force have been assigned to hunt down Saddam, his sons Qusai and Uday, and at least a dozen of Iraq's top military and political leaders, according to senior Pentagon officials with direct knowledge of the mission.

The commandos, now based in Kuwait, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and northern Iraq, are prepared to storm Saddam's presidential palaces, attack his convoys and suffer casualties to bring Saddam's 24-year rule to an end, the officials say.

fueling speculation the United States is snooping on the two anti-war governments.


Naah. If we had done it, they would have never found them. Our guys are getting too good. Probably a link to get their orders from Saddam. :>)
