Saddam Watch
Rep. Ray LaHood, R-Ill., definitely got the attention of the editorial board at The Pantagraph in Bloomington, Ill., yesterday. During an hour-long chat at the newspaper, the five-term lawmaker held his thumb and
forefinger slightly apart and said, "We're this close" to catching Saddam Hussein. A quick-thinking member of The Pantagraph editorial board -- not really expecting an answer -- asked LaHood, "Do you know something we
don't?" The congressman, a member of the House Select Intelligence Committee, replied, "Yes I do."
