The Kurds are saying that they captured Hussein and the U.S. troops were along for the ride. Specifically, "Qusrat's team was accompanied by a group of US soldiers." The U.S. is saying that it was a U.S. operation that was backed by Kurdish troops ind intelligence.
My money is on the Kurdish version.

Bush didn't want that, as it wasn't the reality he was trying to prove.
Ah, such is life around Langley.

I imagine the truth is somewhere between the two, probably closer to the Kurds than the US wants to admit. Still, I don't think their story holds, as you'd think Saddam would have talked about it to the Iraqis that came to see him, in an effort to create strife....
Just sayin...
