there always has to be a conspiracy theory.

yup, and I had sleepovers with Michael Jackson.

I noticed the story died a bit too quickly...like it was all over the news for about 2 -3 days, then it's back to regular life... a bit strange indeed. Can't exactly say why but I feel something's wrong too..

I also felt that the part on the news where this "seargent ?" asked that trooper for Saddams words a bit odd. (kind of acted)

It looked like it was the 99th take and they had only 100 changes to do it right.

I'm sorry what the fuck is that dude talking about?? Yeah, it was all pulled off in the face of pretty much the whole world right??? This is about as ridiculous as suggesting we never landed on the moon either... no, this is moreso.

well, you can't report the same story day after day. if no new information is being released, you can't write a new story.

Quite, otherwise it would sound like this:

Saddam just woke up. He scratches himself. Then he got up and walked to the can and took a whiz and ripped one. The guards got him some coffee and a donut. ....

you get the pictar

Yeah but I dunno, it's kind of a huge thing and usually they like to find the maximum information about the event or give the same information differently just to keep talking about it or plain simply show off about the fact they caught him...Being used to the media's general behavior towards such events, I just have a vague feeling that's something's missing... but heh, who am I to judge, I'll leave the rest to the "political discussions" section

The burden of proof lies on the poster, which has less than no credibility, citing not only an outlandish story, but also (apparently) posting anonymously.

In order for such a thing to transgress several things would have to occur which combined have about a chance of lightning striking someone twice.

(a.) total corruption of our government on many levels (all serving only one person.. president bush, yeah fucking right, everyone has their own agenda within our government, some people just follow under somebody else to gain other thing)
(b.) saddam's total cooperation (yeah right)

(c.) a level of trust between saddam hussein and whoever lined up the deal

(d.) the media somehow not getting word of this.

While some nuts out there would like to suggest this is easily possible, I would like to suggest they are pathetic, and possess the mind of an infant and have about the same resistance to suggestion. I mean, I hate bush just as much as the next level headed citizen of the world, but give me a break. It's too grand for him to conjure, and the risks are far too great for the rewards. On no level's is it logical, and I sincerely doubt it's even possible.

Look at watergate, it only takes a few people to bust open a "conspiracy", and that was chump shit compared to what this guy is suggesting.

It wasnt anonymous, but it wasnt posted by a particularly respected poster either.

I think its possible, but its fairly unlikely
