U.S. Officials See Hussein’s Hand in Attacks on Americans in Iraq

Grreeeeaaat. Now Saddam is coordinating attacks against Coalition forces in Iraq. Or is he?

Officials acknowledged that the reports of a significant role by Mr. Hussein could not be corroborated, and one senior official cautioned that recent intelligence reports contained conflicting assessments.

Nonetheless, three senior officials described reports of a larger role by Mr. Hussein as credible, and a Defense Department official said the information had given a fresh sense of urgency to the American-led manhunt for the former Iraqi leader.

So Saddam is sorta-kinda-maybe running the show? Gee, that’s a great basis for a story.
