The BBC reports:

«Ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has been captured by US forces, says the US chief administrator in Iraq.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we got him,” Paul Bremer said at a news conference in the capital, Baghdad, prompting loud cheers from Iraqis in the audience.»

Nicely done! A better Christmas present, I couldn’t ask for.
