Psychic seeks reward for Saddam's capture

A Brazilian court will consider a psychic's claim that the United States Government owes him a $US25 million reward for information he says he provided on the hiding place of ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

Brazil's second-highest court, the Superior Court of Justice, ruled the Brazilian justice system could rule on the matter and told a court in the psychic's home state of Minas Gerais to judge the case.

...

"The Minas Gerais court will work with the claim," a spokesman for the Superior Court of Justice said.

"Jucelino da Luz alleges that the US armed forces only found Saddam based on his letters that provided his exact location, the very hole where he was hiding in Iraq.

1. And since he is psychic

He must know he's going to win, else why go to the trouble.

2. The things people will say for $25 million...

3. Wow, this "psychic" can locate a single human being

on 197,000,000 square miles of earth. Amazing. Must do really well playing the lottery. The odds are about the same. Sadly the charlatan will probably win the case in Brazil. He'll never collect though.

4. Heh. Acquaintance of mine predicted Saddam would be found in a "bunker."

Yes, she is psychic. Amazingly so. Too bad she didn't call the government so she could obtain a reward, because she told several people that she "saw" Saddam in a small bunker type of hideout.

I don't doubt that this man got a visual impression where Saddam was, but to ask for $25 million based on clairvoyance is ludicrous.

5. He will be found NEAR WATER

That is usually a psychic favorite!

And he was--there was a river nearby! And a well!

Hey, where's MY cut???
