CIA Had Fix on Hussein (Washington Post): "When Bush signed the launch order at 6:30 p.m., it had a hastily prepared insert. The first shots would strike through the roof and walls of an anonymous Baghdad home and deep beneath it in hopes of decapitating the Iraqi government in a single blow."

Bid to assassinate Saddam (The Guardian). Saddam is apparently still alive and is speaking to the nation now.

Iraq's Dirty Dozen (The Guardian). Saddam's sons: "Qusay Hussein: Saddam's youngest son is head of the elite Republican Guard and is responsible for Iraq's security forces. He is believed to be Saddam's chosen successor. Uday Hussein: Two years older than Qusay, he is believed by some to be genuinely psychotic. Uday controls most Iraqi media as well as a paramilitary group called the Fedayeen. Uday, semi-paralysed after an assasination attempt in 1996, has a reputation as a brutal playboy. He has been repeatedly accused of raping and killing young women and of having a private torture chamber."
