How Not To Lose Saddam
The fear is that Saddam could easily hide in a country that was all but built for his personal protection. Or he could slip through Iraq's porous borders with Syria, Iran or Jordan. Sad-dam has billions stashed away to finance a life in exile. To avoid this, the White House appears to be counting on the newly liberated Iraqis to turn him in. Sources tell TIME that the U.S. armed forces have developed pamphlets to be dropped over Iraq if a war begins, warning citizens not to let Saddam escape. "We're counting on the Ceausescu method," says a senior planner at Central Command, which would lead a war on Iraq. He's referring to Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceause-scu, executed by his subjects after his regime fell in 1989.
