did we get him?

It's probably another case of "The Fog of War," but I hope this story is true.

American specialists were carrying out DNA tests last night on human remains believed by US military sources to be those of Saddam Hussein and one of his sons, The Observer can reveal.
The remains were retrieved from a convoy of vehicles struck last week by US forces following 'firm' information that the former Iraqi leader and members of his family were travelling in the Western Desert near Syria.

It could be rumor or wishful thinking. Saddam has been hard to kill so far. But I hope we got him.

It'll take away one of Al Sharpton's favorite lines in his campaign speech.
