Don't say anything.. Got It?

[kcwayne]

After the soldiers that captured Saddam loaded him on a helicoptor and it took off, their commander sternly warned them to keep quiet, and not say anything to anyone.

Wouldn't you love to see the standing orders this commander had, and see what rationale drove this decision to supress this major story?

Will the freedom of information act cover getting access to this decision?

Certainly Rummy and Bush should be asked why they wanted it kept secret. Of course they will say that they wanted to get Saddam out of Iraq before the Iraqis tried to rescue him or something, but I would take that as total BS.
