Saddam in Thailand?
- December 16, 2003
Sources have long contended that most high level prisoners from
Afghanistan and Iraq were first interrogated in Thailand (Thai
officials deny this). Thus, rumors started to swirl as Saddam's
capture was announced that Saddam himself was either on his way
to Thailand or was already here. On Sunday night, the Associated
Press reported that Saddam had been moved out of Iraq. CNN
reported that Saddam was in Qatar, but the next day this was denied.
This is the usual pattern: 'sources' tell various
news outlets about the whereabouts of a high-ranking POWs and
then the next day this is matter-of-factly denied. Also:
