What documents he was carrying? Are you imagining things again? He report I heard said he had two AK's, 750 cash and some t-shirts. Not even a cell phone. I'm sure he wasn't lugging around his files. Hopefully he has some Swiss bank account numbers. That would be useful.

Saddam captured with stockpile of hot dogs:

"The hut consisted of one room with two beds and a fridge containing a can of lemonade, a packet of hot dogs, an opened box of Belgian chocolates and a tube of ointment. Several new pairs of shoes lay in their boxes scattered around the floor.

Soldiers said it was unclear whether the food and other items belonged to Saddam.

The other room, open to the elements at one end, was a kitchen with a sink fed by water from a cistern on top of a chicken coop at the other end of a small yard.

Pinned to the outside wall of the hut was a cardboard box depicting biblical scenes such as the Last Supper and the Madonna (news - web sites) and child with the English inscription "God bless our home."

Inside the bedroom was a 2003 calendar in Arabic with a colorful depiction of Noah's Ark.
