CBS: 'Senior Officials' Think Saddam May Not Have Survived
Thu Mar 20 2003 10:33:00 ET
"I am being told by several senior officials not to take that taped speech Saddam gave last night as proof that he survived the attack," CBS NEWS reporter David Martin said on air.
"They say the evidence that put him in the bunker last night was very reliable, and they are confident that the cruise missiles and bunker-busting bombs that were fired at that bunker last night hit the target. So now, intelligence experts are studying the tape to determine if it is really Saddam, or a body double which he is known to use from time to time. And they are running a computerized voice analysis, comparing that speech with known recordings of Saddam's voice. But that's a process that takes awhile. So we may not have a quick answer."
CBS adds that there is "is considerable belief in this government that they may, in fact, have gotten Saddam."
This from Rich Lowry...
"This is from Bloomberg, sorry no link: 'The U.S. targeted the leaders after engineering reports yesterday that Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz had defected, Sky News reported, citing unidentified offficials. The reports prompted Azia to go on live television yesterday to prove his loyalty, allowing the U.S. to track the source of the transmission and follow Aziz's movements, Sky reported.' In other words, we flushed out Aziz, followed him, and made him drop a dime on Saddam without him knowing it."

Saddam takes time off - to pay Palestinian martyrs
Saddam Hussein has taken time off from war duties to authorise the donation of $210,000 to the families of Palestinians killed in recent fighting with Israel.
Throughout nearly 30 months of battles, Iraq has paid more than $35 million to the families of Palestinians killed in the conflict, including relatives of scores of bombers as well as Palestinian civilians.
Via a tiny pro-Iraq faction in the West Bank and Gaza, Saddam today granted US$10,000 checks to the families of 21 Palestinians, including a member of the terror group Hamas.
Ibrahim Zaanen, of the Arab Liberation Front, said: "Even in this crucial time, President Saddam has not forgotten his people in Palestine and he insists on making payments to the families of the martyrs.
"President Saddam and the Iraqi people will be steadfast in the face of aggression and God is greater than the aggressor. Iraq will defeat the invaders."
One of the leaders of the pro-Iraqi group told the families, and a crowd of hundreds of onlookers gathered in a main square of Khan Younis, on Gaza's border with Egypt, that Saddam would continue to support them.
Several men from the group fired shots into the air from submachine guns each time Saddam's name was mentioned. Families receiving the money held pictures of Saddam and Iraqi flags.
Fourteen of the families were related to slain civilians, including youths who hurled rocks at Israeli soldiers and four cousins killed by soldiers as they tried to cross a fence into Israel in search of work.
The other seven were gunmen, including a Hamas militant who battled with an undercover unit of Israeli soldiers who came to arrest him.
