Saddam capture fiction

Public version of Saddam capture fiction:" Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: A former U.S. Marine who participated in capturing ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein said the public version of his capture was fabricated. Ex-Sgt.Nadim Abou Rabeh, of Lebanese descent, was quoted in the Saudi daily al-Medina Wednesday as saying Saddam was actually captured Friday, Dec. 12, 2003, and not the day after, as announced by the U.S. Army. "I was among the 20-man unit, including eight of Arab descent, who searched for Saddam for three days in the area of Dour near Tikrit, and we found him in a modest home in a small village and not in a hole as announced," Abou Rabeh said. "We captured him after fierce resistance during which a Marine of Sudanese origin was killed," he said. He said Saddam himself fired at them with a gun from the window of a room on the second floor. Then they shouted at him in Arabic: "You have to surrender. ...There is no point in resisting." "Later on, a military production team fabricated the film of Saddam's capture in a hole, which was in fact a deserted well," Abou Rabeh said." Does any one remember the story of Jessie James? If not well the story goes how someone caught him from the back, and shot him dead, and he went down in history as the man who shot Jessie James. Well if you read the book wrote by his family is tell a whole different story, about a man who live to a old age and died. What I'm getting at is, we as humans tend to believe what, our government tell us. Should we?
