...more former regime members U.S. forces nab, the more they are learning about Saddam's underground network. Brigade commander Colonel James Hickey says a core group of bodyguards around Saddam apparently is moving his money around the area, from Baiji, 20 miles north of Tikrit, to Balad, 50 miles to the south. At the end of June, the brigade intercepted a nephew of Saddam's who was carrying $800,000 in a Samsonite briefcase, presumably moving it from a hidden stash to a delivery point.

...guys who have taken over the drug scene in Ireland are far more ruthless than Gilligan's gang ever was," Williams adds. And he would know. A few years ago, Irish journalists felt safe on the crime beat, with the attention from Guerin's death driving would-be assailants underground. Now a new generation of drug lords are using fear to try to silence reporters.
