PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE.

Remember this story from Thursday, July 10th?
Omar Abdullah Hadi, a 23-year-old money changer from the northern city of Mosul, says he was a fugitive from Saddam's regime and has no love for the dictator. But if Saddam is hiding in Iraq, no amount of money will flush him out.

"This reward bears no relation to what will happen," he says. "We are tribal people. That's the main reason they won't give him up. It's not about benefiting from Saddam. It's about our tribal customs, that say when a visitor comes into your house, you must treat him well."

Well, I ran across this today.

A $25 million reward for information leading to Saddam's capture or confirmation of his death has upped the number of tips slipped to U.S. officials.



Heh.

The story is actually about another capture of some thugs. Read the whole story here.
