A photo, donated to and made available by www.military.com and reportedly showing former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein moments after his capture by US forces in a farm house outside Tikrit, Iraq, 14 December 2003. The photograph of Saddam Hussein in the moment of his capture was emailed to military.com author John Weisman over the New Year weekend by a friend in the US Special Forces community, who was proud of what his former colleagues in Iraq had accomplished when they pulled the dictator out of his hole.
