Where’s the peanut butter?!

In an open society, our media would be scrambling to verify or refute this:

Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) was captured by US troops only after he
had been taken prisoner by Kurdish forces, drugged and abandoned ready for
American soldiers to recover him, a British Sunday newspaper said.

…

A former Iraqi intelligence officer, whom the Express did not name, told
the paper that Saddam was held prisoner by a leader of the Kurdish
Patriotic Front, which fought alongside US forces during the Iraq war,
until he negotiated a deal.

The deal apparently involved the group gaining political advantage in the
region.

An unnamed Western intelligence source in the Middle East told the Express:
“Saddam was not captured as a result of any American or British
intelligence. We knew that someone would eventually take their revenge, it
was just a matter of time.”
