The Americans Are Serious

The Americans are Serious

Udai Hussein: 'This time I think the Americans are serious. Bush is not like Clinton. I think this is the end.' "

Read about the guy who turned in Udai and Qusai.

Of special interest is the notation that Udai and Qusai had taken up residence in the home of a guy who had a special grudge against them.

Unknown to them, however, Mr. al-Zaydan held a grudge. Two years ago Sadan, Mr. al-Zaydan's younger brother, a drunk who traded on his brother's prestigious position, had boasted once too often that the brothers were cousins of Saddam. Such an erroneous claim carried a prison sentence and Sadan was condemned to seven years. Although he was released within a month, Mr. al-Zaydan still brooded about the family humiliation.

I guess it's hard to keep track of all they people you've offended when you've been as busy at it as the Husseins.
