Those of you with Direct TV connections to non-censored European &
Middle Eastern news channels might find it interesting to watch their current
accounts of Saddam's capture. The Saddam capture stories are so different it is
simply amazing.
German & Middle Eastern TV reports that there was a major fire fight
with many casualties on both sides. When captured, Saddam was reported as being
apparently completely white haired (maybe even his natural hair color).and
wearing a fake beard as part of his disguise etc, etc., etc. US authorities
are
credited with his dark hair color shown in the pictures.
I suppose that it serves some psychological purpose in Iraq to show
Saddam hidding in a hole and looking like a bum. But how do we look to the rest
of world when they are hearing such a different account from independent
foreign news sources. Once again what the Arabic world is hearing and what we
are
hearing are so different.
