FoxNews reporting that Saddam Hussein's half-brother, Barzan Ibrahim Hasan al-Tikriti, has been captured by Kurdish forces while attempting to escape across the Syrian border.

UPDATE : From Kurdish TV, via the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Coalition forces on Sunday captured Saddam Hussein's half-brother Watban as he attempted to cross the border into Syria, Kurdish TV said. "Watban Ibrahim Hasan, Saddam's half-brother who served as interior minister and in other sensitive positions, was captured today by coalition forces in Rabia," north-west of Mosul, said KTV, which is run by the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) of Massoud Barzani.

Just reading through the first few pages of this thread again is interesting, some of the misinformation from the coalition is astounding. Through all the claims and finds of strange chemicals (which turn out to be weed killer or parafin) the coalition and the Iraqi Info Minister seem to have been competing on who can tell the biggest porkies ;). Strange how these stories of "massive finds" just vapourise.

Not really, as it hasnt been official statements from the coalition governments saying "we found chemical weapons"

They have all been statements in the press saying that some soldiers think they have found something and that tests are being carried out.

Slightly different IMO.
 
If the media (even if it is Fox News) is claiming "seniour defense sources" as they have done often then someone must be feeding them the information. So the only difference between the coalition lies and the Iraqi Information Minister's lies are that the coalitions are put out anonomously by the press. Even assuming that 25% of press reports regarding WMD are total fabrication by bored journalists thats still a lot of coalition misinformation.
 
Its the embedded reporters. Supposed to be on the ground to give accurate information. Absolute garbage.
Was very sceptical about the information fed before the war. I'm EVEN MORE sceptical about our government now. Lies until proven to be truth by someone else:(

I don't believe Cyanide is a WMD because it cannot be dispersed in large volumes like Vx or Mustart Gas can.

Cyanide has to be administered on a individual basis as opposed to it being an 'area effect' weapon kinda thing! :)
