Why would they give him a gun? Maybe that was a lie too. Why would they give him $750,000? Maybe that was a lie too. Who knows. I'll believe the official thing as opposed to an unnamed Western intelligence source in the Middle East. This sounds like propaganda to discredit the US in Iraq and spurn hatred towards the kurds by the insurgents. It also sounds like people trying to rationalize and hang onto their delusions that Saddam was not a coward hiding in a hole.
