From the Wall Street Journal (http://www.opinionjournal.com/best/?id=110003426):

There may be a TV gig in Mohammed Saeed "Comical Ali" al-Sahaf's future. Reuters reports the head of a Dubai-based satellite station says Sahaf, Iraq's hugely entertaining former "information minister," is "welcome to join the network immediately as a commentator and analyst." Reuters also picks up a report on Sahaf's whereabouts:
A London-based Arabic newspaper reported . . . [he] was now holed up with his aunt in Baghdad and wanted the Americans to arrest and protect him.

The report said Sahaf had left the northern city of Mosul four days ago and was staying at his aunt's house in the capital's Palestine Street.

It quoted a representative of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) who said that U.S. troops had refused to take Sahaf into custody because he did not figure on the American most-wanted list, but that negotiations were continuing.
It's somehow fitting that this would-be TV star can't even get himself arrested.
