Another slant on the raid

"Command Post" has more information on "the raid":

I hope this story is true (have to take it with a "grain of salt" along with Debka File which is probably baloney [there's always the anti-Syria slant]). The interesting bit is the actual attack killing Saddam's sons was quite short being more or less a standard Special-Ops raid. Then the word got out to the local people that the two sons were in peril. The American troops then had to fight off attackers coming in from outside who were trying to rescue the sons. The story goes on that the sons were careless in having computers and documents with them detailing the Iraqi resistance. Presumably the sons were directing the resistance (what's Saddam doing?). This last tale has a fishy smell because it's too good to be true. If it is true, then there might be information about daddy. Also it would mean the various people forming the resistance are either on the run, being captured or gunned down by US troops. Even if the story about the documents and computers is a lie, the people forming the Iraqi resistance will have to assume they have been compromised and lay low. This is certainly a good thing.
