#4 AFP (via commandpost) reports Kuwaiti TV says Al Duri surrendered Tuesday AM (local time?), cites unnamed Iraqi sources. Is that where Fox got it, or do they have independent source?

#7 You know, with only 13 of the head cheeses still on the run, we only have to capture one more and we can replace the deck of cards with a pair of dice...

#10 Do not forget the story that the Kuwait's caught WMD crossing the border. One paper caused a storm as a bunch of other papers reported it using the original paper as their source. When the dust settled it was artwork or something.

Give it 48 hours.

#15 There are a fair number of Arabs that don't look 'Arab'.

I'll believe this one is captured only when I hear it officially confirmed. Every time the coalition goes on a major hunt we hear he was captured.
