<DIV>What's wrong with this news story?? (I'll tell you.) The U.S. has to offer
reward money to find the WMD's? But I thought we HAD the "evidence" and
"intelligence" proving the existance and location of weapons of mass
destruction. Does this mean we never did? And that therefore, we never had
evidence that Saddam constituted a "threat"? And that therefore, this war was
entirely unprovoked and illegal?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>How come no one is raising this discrepancy?</DIV>

military is offering rewards for news that could help its forces capture Iraqi
President Saddam Hussein and his aides or find weapons of mass destruction, but
declined to name the price on Saddam's head. </FONT>
<P>U.S. Army Brigadier General Vincent Brooks told a briefing at Central Command
in Qatar on Saturday that a rewards program had been set up to pay for
information "leading to the capture of key leaders."
<P>A day earlier Brooks unveiled pictures of 55 "wanted" men from Saddam's
administration, whom the United States wants chased, caught or killed.
<P>"There are even more beyond that of lesser importance to the (Saddam) regime,
but nevertheless of interest to us," he said.
<P>Brooks said rewards were also on offer for information about possible weapons
of mass destruction programs and the location of hidden weapons caches.
<P>"I won't be too specific about prices. The price tags vary, (but) we think
(they are) appropriate prices," he said.
<P>Since launching a war on March 20 to overthrow Saddam and rid Iraq of its
alleged weapons of mass destruction, the U.S. has not been able to track down
the Iraqi leader.
<P>"Some regime leaders have been killed...but we don't have any specific
reports on that particular individual," Brooks
said.</P></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
