Nothing about that event strikes as even remotely true. If the Saddam capture really were authentic, we'd have gotten more than a few seconds of footage of him being searched and a few photos of him being pulled out of a "spider hole" (a spider hole, of all places... don't forget the Mars bars and Dove soap etc. they found him with), which, strange enough, look remarkably posed, and then never hear about or see him again.

But I keep forgetting things like like that are impossible to pull off; the media isn't controlled nor can they hire actors to make up and say things on their behalf.

The bigger the lie, the more people tend to believe it...
Well said that man !

Manipulation of the media isn't exactly a new idea , I believe George Orwell would be mighty proud of the current state of affairs in the US.
