The Wall Street Journal reports this morning that Uday Hussein, Saddam’s older son, has been hiding in a Baghdad suburb and is now negotiating a surrender with American authorities. The Americans are said to be in no particular hurry, as they think Uday will be caught sooner or later in any event. Uday is understandably concerned that he may be found by Iraqis before he concludes a deal with the American authorities, in which case his fate would no doubt be similar to Mussolini’s or Ceausescu’s. As an anonymous source quoted in the article says, “He doesn’t have good choices.”
The same source claims that Saddam is likewise alive and hiding in a suburb of Baghdad, but says he is in “questionable mental health.” No kidding.
