Saddam Hussein was captured by US troops only after he had been taken prisoner by Kurdish forces, drugged and abandoned ready for American soldiers to recover him, a British Sunday newspaper said.
Saddam came into the hands of the Kurdish Patriotic Front after being betrayed to the group by a member of the al-Jabour tribe, whose daughter had been raped by Saddam's son Uday, leading to a blood feud, reported the Sunday Express, which quoted an unnamed senior British military intelligence officer.
The newspaper said the full story of events leading up to the ousted Iraqi president's capture on December 13 near his hometown of Tikrit in northern Iraq, "exposes the version peddled by American spin doctors as incomplete".
Wouldn't be surprising if this was true since the Bush administration pulled that nice little stunt with Bush's visit to Iraq and his plastic turkey. Things are going so bad that they need to pull stuff like that to make sure that Joe Sixpack thinks "we're winning".
Not to mention the attack that was conducted on Bremer's convoy earlier in December which was held secret by the government and not reported in the media so that people didn't think that things really were out of control.
The US government really does love to lie doesn't it? Amazing, simply amazing.
