The missing people-shredderThe horror of one of Saddam's execution methods made a powerful pro-war rallying cry - but the evidence suggests it never existed Brendan O'Neill Wednesday February 25, 2004 The Guardian Forget the no-show of Saddam Hussein's WMD. Ask instead what happened to Saddam's "people shredder", into which his son Qusay reportedly fed opponents of the Ba'athist regime. Ann Clwyd, the Labour MP who chairs Indict, a group that has been campaigning since 1996 for an international criminal tribunal to try the Ba'athists, wrote of the shredder in the Times on March 18 last year - the day of...

Iraqi informer's family is marked for death Nawaf al-Zaidan earned $30m by leading the US to Saddam's sons. Now local tribes have sworn revenge Rory McCarthy in Mosul Saturday January 24, 2004 The Guardian (UK) The spot where Nawaf al-Zaidan's mansion once stood is now empty. Bulldozers flattened the building, leaving a neat square of red earth, as if to erase the memory of what happened here six months ago. Scrawled nearby in red paint are the words: "Houses and land for sale." On July 22 last year, Mr Zaidan left his home in the al-Bareed suburb of the northern...

Rumsfeld flies over site where Saddam sons killed MOSUL, Iraq, Sept 5 (Reuters) - U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld got a bird's eye view from a helicopter on Friday of the site where Saddam Hussein's sons were killed in northern Iraq. On a visit to troops from the U.S. 101st Airborne Division in the northern city of Mosul, Rumsfeld was given an aerial tour which included the house where Uday and Qusay Hussein were cornered and killed by U.S. soldiers in July. Their killing was the biggest success so far for U.S. troops hunting Saddam and his top officials. Rumsfeld...

<p>BAGHDAD -- Iraq's armed forces virtually evaporated during the war in March and April because of a confused and often ineffectual command structure, which oversaw hundreds of thousands of disaffected soldiers who had no idea of the battle plan. After decades of dictatorship, the war was fought with little gusto by anyone other than Saddam Hussein's inner circle, former Iraqi officers say.</p>

Now that Uday & Qusay have been eliminated, a lot of the lesser-known family members are coming to the attention of American authorities.

The four-storey house in Mosul where Saddam Hussein's sons, Uday and Qusay, made their last stand has been demolished to prevent it being made into a shrine by Iraqis nostalgic for their father's rule. But before the bulldozers moved in, the site was picked over by American souvenir hunters.Four armed CIA men in plain clothes were prowling through the rubble in Mosul's Chalalat Street last week. One, a bald man with an automatic rifle slung over his shoulders who said he was from Colorado, admitted he was collecting souvenirs for himself and his colleagues. He and other armed Americans were...

Coulter and Estrich up on H&C. Estrich looks like he was embalmed by the same guys that formaldehyded Uday and Qusai!!

The graves tell the story of the fall of the house of Hussein. Just off Tikrit's main street, Saddam built a gaudy mausoleum in dictator kitsch style, to give the appearance of a bond with the father who abandoned him as a child. And at the cemetery in nearby Owja, the Hussein family's tribal homeland, the impoverished mother who raised Saddam is remembered in a building whose functional architecture would suit the laundry block at an Australian country hospital. But when the Al Bunaser tribe gathered on Saturday for the burial of Saddam's sons, killed in a gun battle with...

"We've determined it is highly likely to be him," the official told Reuters.

Uday and Qusay killed to keep them silent on lack of WMD? Newsweek’s Eleanor Clift suggested on the McLaughlin Group over the weekend that the in killing Uday and Qusay Hussein, “two intelligence assets who could potentially lead us to the weapons of mass destruction,” the Bush administration “surrendered a major opportunity to uncover” those weapons “unless,” she added nefariously, “they don’t believe those weapons are there.” Later, she equated President Bush’s State of the Union line about Iraq “seeking” uranium in Africa with the tape erasure in the Nixon White House: “The 16 words are taking on the aura...
