stratoman Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/dowjones/20030523/bs_dowjones/200305230040000026 NEW YORK -- Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s eldest son, Uday, is considering surrendering to U.S. forces, but so far has been reluctant to do so because of a tough negotiating posture by the U.S. government, a third party with knowledge of the discussions told The Wall Street Journal. U.S. officials in Washington had no comment. Uday Hussein, who is hiding in a Baghdad, Iraq (news - web sites), suburb, wants to know what the charges against him will be, and the process for interrogation and custody, the person familiar with the discussions said. He is working through intermediaries. U.S. officials don't seem especially interested in cutting a deal, because they assume Uday will be caught sooner or later, the person said. Uday was commander of Iraq's feared paramilitary unit known as the Saddam Fedayeen, and he was also chairman of the Iraqi Olympic Committee. He is No. 3 on the coalition's most-wanted list, after his father and his brother, Qusay. Uday fears that Iraqi citizens will kill him if they find him, and may instead choose the safety of a U.S. prison, the person said, adding that Uday frequently changes his mind about surrendering. So far, 25 of the top 55 most-wanted Iraqis are in coalition custody. Saddam Hussein is also alive and in suburban Baghdad, the person familiar with Uday's surrender discussions said he has been told by a Saddam relative. He added that the deposed leader is in questionable mental health. The U.S. government has asked intermediaries for help in finding him or negotiating a surrender, but this person knows of no progress. Wall Street Journal Staff Reporter Jeffrey Zaslow contributed to this report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inmate running the asylum Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Interesting. I wouldn't cut any deal with those 3 SOB's. All three should be put on trial and then hung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennesseeCarl Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Hmmm...offer Uday complete immunity if he'll give us Saddam and the other son. Once we get both of them, turn Uday loose in Saudi Arabia or Yemen. I'd guess they'd just love a guy who ratted out his Dad and brother to the infidels.

Sarge Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Give in to any demands that he makes, then once he has surrendered, hang him by his balls. After, of course, we know everything he knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
