I AM PERSONALLY HOLDING THE ENTIRE US ARMY AS MY PRISONER.
Saddam Hussein's top wartime propagandist - dubbed "Baghdad Bob" for his outlandish, lie-filled news briefings - was captured at a Baghdad roadblock, a London newspaper reported today.

Word of the capture came as six British troops were killed yesterday, in southern Iraq, the deadliest day for coalition forces since Saddam's fall.

Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf - who once claimed "there is no presence of the American columns in the city of Baghdad" as U.S. forces were moving in - was arrested Monday night by American troops, said the Daily Mail.

I've seen at least one report that he tried to surrender earlier, but was turned away by the soldiers because he "wasn't important enough".

He probably feels better now.
