CNN Headline: Reports conflict on who has Hussein
It’s not a conflict by accident, it’s a conflict on purpose. It’s a huge security issue since Saddam is going to be executed “within hours.” They get even more vague and say it could happen “today or tomorrow.” The more confusion they create about who has him and when it will happen, the less likely they are to have problems. Great media relations skills are coming in hand here in an effort to minimize the potential for serious problems.

But this brings up a question. If disaster can be avoided (potentially lives saved), is it okay for someone to put out conflicting information in order to avert potential catastrophies? What becomes the yardstick on ethics? Thoughts?

People put out bogus information all the time, mostly not to save lives but to protect their own political hide.
As long as they execute him, I could care less who has control of him and at what hour they do it.
Did they ever release where he was? I saw news about the final execution all over the news today but really not much details. Have you heard more?
