THE WILDMAN OF TIKRIT

Is this Reuters report true, or an urban legend in the making? "I'm Saddam Hussein," the man with the scruffy beard said in English when U.S. troops found him in a dirt hole. "I'm the president of Iraq and I'm willing to negotiate." In English, no less.

When it comes to negotiations, how about finding his alleged Swiss bank accounts. The billions said to be there could go a long way to relieving American taxpayers of some of the Iraq reconstruction burden.
