Well, if the Press Actually Gets it Right, This Time

MSNBC is reporting that “Saddam Hussein’s sons Udai and Qusai Hussein were “likely” captured or killed in a U.S. raid in northern Iraq Tuesday.”

That’d be a relief.

Fox News reports:

MOSUL, Iraq — U.S. soldiers stormed a house in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul (search) Tuesday, killing four key allies of Saddam Hussein (search) who were hiding inside, and a U.S. official told Reuters there was a “decent chance” that Saddam’s sons were inside.

The house, a large villa, belonged to Saddam’s cousin, and it was burned to the ground after a loud, four-hour gunbattle.

Residents of the city, 280 miles north of Baghdad, said the American soldiers were searching for Saddam’s sons, Qusai and Udai, who have been reported in the area.

“Individuals of very high interest to the coalition forces were hiding out in the building,” Lt. Col. William Bishop of the 101st Airborne Division told Reuters.

So, a definite possibility of a probable maybe?
