First he was missing/presumed dead. Then it was claimed he escaped Iraq and was just another bad guy that got away. Then-after it was clear he was running a giant portion of the insurgency from
inside Syria, it was thought he was dead. Later, there were reports that he was captured. This idea was blown away by his interview with TIME magazine. Then they thought he was dead again. Now, international media reports are claiming that Saddam’s senior henchmen, the official successor to Saddam, the head of the Iraqi Baath Party in exile…has been turned over by Syria to Iraqi authorities. US military officials denied it, but the press is sticking to its claim that Izzat Ibrahim al Douri has been captured.
Sooooo, was he captured? I dunno, but if so we should be grateful that the senior thug in Saddam’s regime has been finally taken down. That leaves only Osama and his #2 man Zawahiri at the top of the dead-or-alive list.
