rumour only (posted last night. see time and date stamp) command-post.org Saddam's Capture Rumoured That's the story - not his capture, just that it's rumoured that he might have been. From The Australian : The Pentagon said today it could not confirm or deny rumours that Saddam Hussein had already been captured by US forces. Whispers of the Iraqi leader's capture swept US markets just after 11am local time (2am AEST) causing an afternoon spike in stocks. But the Pentagon said although US forces were closing in on Saddam, it had no news of his capture. "The short answer is I have no information on that," said Lieutenant General Norton Schwartz of the Pentagon's Joint Operations Staff. Responding to further inquiries, acting Pentagon spokesman Larry Di Rita said US authorities were not being evasive about the rumours. "There's just nothing more to report. We're simply trying to state what we have at the moment," Mr Di Rita said.
