White House Chief of Staff Andrew H. Card Jr. told an online audience that he believes Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has been killed. Card made the statement as he launched a feature on the White House Web site in which he answered some questions from Internet users.
“Casey” from Quincy, Mass., asked if there was any new information on the deposed Iraqi leader’s location. “I think he is dead. The good news is that his regime is no longer a threat to the people of Iraq nor to the U.S. or our allies,” Card said.
