	Sorry to be so late in replying, but it does give the advantage
of an update.  The reports are that the site of the first night's 
bombing is that not only did Saddam & Sons survive, but that apparently
there wasn't even a bunker or other refuge on the site.  Since the
intelligence that there was, and that they were they, precipitated the
first attack of the war, obviously there was some sort of intelligence
(or maybe technical--GPS related?) failure.
