Early Thursday morning in a raid outside the Iraqi town of Basra, fugitive overthrown leader Saddam Hussein was reportedly captured as he attempted to board a fishing vessel near the maritime town of Basra. Hussein was well dressed and apparently carrying two suitcases of cash that authorities believe was the result of 22 consecutive trades of 15% or higher. Although pentagon officials will neither confirm deny the report, imbedded reporter Tomas Michael Directo was able to obtain actual jail house photos of the worlds most wanted fugitive.
