Paul O'Neill Captured (Operation Patriot Act ) 13.01.2004 [19:46] ‘Good Riddance,' Says Bush Former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill was captured Sunday night in a surprise raid on the CBS studios in New York, the Pentagon confirmed today. “We got him,” a coolly confident Vice President Dick Cheney announced to the press moments after Mr. O'Neill was apprehended. At a Pentagon briefing, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said that the military determined Mr. O'Neill's whereabouts after seeing promos for his “Sixty Minutes” interview during the Indianapolis Colts-Kansas City Chiefs playoff game on Sunday. According to Secretary Rumsfeld, Special Forces operatives swarmed over the “Sixty Minutes” set shortly after 7 PM (EST), accidentally grabbing Andy Rooney before releasing him and nabbing Mr. O'Neill. Hours later, images were beamed around the world showing the former Treasury Secretary being examined by a military doctor and checked for lice. Defending the decision to seize Mr. O'Neill, Mr. Rumsfeld said that the Patriot Act permits former Cabinet members who make insulting remarks about the White House to be arrested and detained forever. “Maybe Mr. Jerky should've thought twice before shooting his mouth off, eh?” Mr. Rumsfeld chuckled. Speaking from the Summit of Americas in Mexico, President George W. Bush greeted the news of Mr. O'Neill's capture with a buoyant “good riddance.” Arguing that “the world is a safer place” with Mr. O'Neill in custody, Mr. Bush added, “Mr. Paul O'Neill is no longer free to call people blind and deaf who are not actually blind and/or deaf.” In other FOX news, preliminary reports sent back by the Mars rover today indicate that Mars tastes like chicken.- from the Kitco backup site. investorshub.com
