FoxNews reported that this al-Tikrit guy may be the one who had authority over the WMD programs.

I said this on a long ago thread, too. It bewilders me. I thought that even if I had to be smuggled in the trunk of a car across the desert that I could get out of Iraq (if I had the money to pay for such an escape). I've been really surprised by how hard it apparently was to get the hell out of dodge. I don't think hardly any of the ones we want have left the country.

FoxNews reported earlier this morning that another huge cache (as in millions) of US and British currency had been found in 2 farm houses in the Tikrit area.

U.S. Captures No. 4 Iraqi Official
By JOHN J. LUMPKIN
.c The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - American forces have taken into custody Abid Hamid Mahmud al-Tikriti, Saddam's presidential secretary and No. 4 on the U.S. most-wanted list of Iraqi leaders, a U.S. official said Wednesday.
The official said Mahmud was captured in Iraq but had no further details.
Third in power only to Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and his younger son, Qusai, Mahmud controlled access to Saddam and was one of the few people he is said to have trusted completely, the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

He was the bodyguard for Hussein. In fact, he never left Hussein's side. Every photo of Hussein, except for one that was taken during the war, always showed this guy standing next to Hussein. This means we will find out what happened to Hussein and his sons, plus a number of other very important items of info (including WMD info).

No. 4 most-wanted Iraqi capturedWASHINGTON (AP) American forces have taken into custody Abid Hamid Mahmud al-Tikriti, Saddam's presidential secretary and No. 4 on the U.S. most-wanted list of Iraqi leaders, a U.S. official said Wednesday.
The official said Mahmud was captured in Iraq but had no further details.
Third in power only to Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and his younger son, Qusai, Mahmud controlled access to Saddam and was one of the few people he is said to have trusted completely, the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
Mahmud may have information on the fate of Saddam and his sons, and he is thought to have details of Iraq's alleged weapons programs. U.S. officials have said they want to try Mahmud for war crimes or crimes against humanity for activities associated with his senior position in the Iraqi regime.
It is unclear whether Mahmud's capture was related to U.S. raids near Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit. American troops raided two farmhouses and found $8.5 million in American cash, 300 million to 400 million Iraqi dinars and an undetermined amount of British pounds and Euros, said Maj. Gen. Ray Odierno, commander of the Army's 4th Infantry Division. The troops also found more than $1 million worth of gems and jewels, he said.
The troops captured one of Saddam's bodyguards and up to 50 other people believed to be tied to Saddam's security or intelligence forces or paramilitary groups, Odierno told Pentagon reporters in a video news conference from his headquarters in Tikrit. The troops also found Russian-made night-vision goggles and other military equipment, as well as various Saddam paraphernalia.
Odierno said he did not know whether the cash was intended to pay bounties for attacks on American troops or to provide the Saddam loyalists with luxuries while they were in hiding.

You're assuming this guy, loyal as loyal can be, is just going to roll over and talk. I hope so, but I'm not holding my breath.
