Kidnap plot for Saddam deal By Marie Colvin of The Sunday Times in Baghdad 22dec03 (Excerpt)
Hussein fell into the hands of the Kurdish Patriotic Front after being betrayed to the group by a member of the al-Jabour tribe, whose daughter had been raped by his son, Uday, leading to a blood feud, London's Sunday Express reported, quoting an unnamed senior British military intelligence officer. The newspaper said the full story of events leading up to the ousted Iraqi president's capture last weekend near his home town of Tikrit in northern Iraq, "exposes the version peddled by American spin doctors as incomplete".

Everything we've been told about this "war" by the current administration and media has been a lie. Nothing much worse than a lying showboat that takes credit for others' work.
