#1 yeah except he is back in baghdad and although few news outlets mention it, he even made an appearance to refute statements that he had tried to defect. now he is a photography association guy and Udai's flunky, which would make him privy to some interesting stuff, but udai has been out of favor for a while. Qusay saddam's other son is the guy to watch out for.

ever seen dune? It's sort of like the harkonen boys. and I mean that with all the subtle refferances that are involved.

what we are seeing here is that his dissapearance had so much hype that it was everywhere, his reapearance made some news, but not enough. sounds like debka didn't do all of their research.

I'll try and dig up when he made his statement refuting his defection. it was done feb 15th, and although feb 16th was when the majority of newspapers were talking of shaaban's dissapearance, it was alreay a cold trail by then. it's what happens when media all research off eachother.
