#1 Suspects? Alleged perpetrators? They are assisting the authorities in their investigation.

#2 They're gonna need a lot of rope.

If they don't have enough of that, electricity will do.

#4 Iraq will get legal custody of Saddam, but the US will get to see him every other weekend.

#5 Speaking of Sammy, I was wondering how much information we squeezed out of him. I know that any public statements would be disinformation, probably, especially if we said that we did not get much out of Sammy.

#6 That is very interesting. Al-Douri seems to be in custody. I don't remember ever seeing that reported on the news. Except for a red herring about his capture several months ago (or I thought it was a red herring!)...then later, no, seems no one had any information about Al-Douri's capture.

I think that was after Saddam's capture. Within a few days, anyway (too darn lazy to look it up).

This morning I saw his name listed among the indictees. I wondered then if they'd caught him or he was just being indicted in absentia.

I thought I just missed it, but the phrase "dentention date not known" pretty much says it all. (Unless it means they don't know when they'll catch him...haha)

If they do indeed have Al-Douri and that wasn't public knowledge until now...well, that clears up some mysteries, fer sure.

#7 I particularly like seeing Tareq Aziz (11) on the list. Somehow the smooth sophisticated spokesmen who spend their time schmoozing with diplomats at the U.N. and lying in press conferences in elegant and correct English piss me off more than the more obvious thugs.

#8 Quana - I'm 99% certain "Red" Al Douri isn't in custody - they'll try him in absentia, I believe.

#9 Ok, I've looked around a bit and I think you are right, .com. The phrase "detention date not known" is a strange way to say "we ain't got 'em". Perhaps it means "we'll get him, no doubts about that". Maybe it is translated from the Arabic, a grandiloquent and effusive verbiage for "nope, don't got 'im, yet".

Just looks strange to me. And confusing for those of us with slower synaptic responses. Heh.
