Saddam Hussein had already been cut off from his own government for years by the time he was captured by US military, it has been revealed. The Iraqi dictator —who complained of cuts and bruises from his capture — is said to have been 'busy writing novels' and paid no attention to his military or how his followers ran the country. 'He was no longer running the government,' said ex-CIA analyst John Nixon, the first US interrogator to get his hands on Hussein. Nixon was tasked with identifying the dictator before the news of his capture could be released — which he did by an old bullet wound and two tribal tattoos. He has told the story of Hussein's first moments in capture in the book 'Debriefing the President: The Interrogation of Saddam Hussein,' slated for release on December 27. Hussein remained adamant that he did not plot to kill President George H.W. Bush after the Persian Gulf War — and looked satisfied when he heard bombings outside, thinking his

The authorities said there was an 'imminent attack' on Iceland's government databases and that the FBI would send agents to investigate.  Jonasson said he was immediately skeptical of the FBI's intentions.
