Uday Hussein Number Three on List of Most Wanted
LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: Saddam's number one son is number three on CENTCOM's list of most wanted Iraqi fugitives. He is the ace of hearts, if you've been following that. Uday's well known hedonism and overall erraticism got him passed over as his father's heir apparent in favor of his younger brother, Qusay. Our Jane Arraf is in Baghdad right now. Let's go to her for more on these family dynamics -- Jane.</s>JANE ARRAF, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Leon, U.S. military officials are denying that any talks are taking place, with or without intermediaries. In fact, General David McKiernan, the top U.S. general here, says that the U.S. just would not do that. It is seeking an unconditional surrender, he says.</s>LT. GEN. DAVID MCKIERNAN, CMDR., U.S. GROUND FORCES: I can tell you that from day one, and it continues today, we're searching for everybody that's on the black list, to include his family. I have -- nobody has brought an offer from Uday to me, and I would facilitate his coming on in. But it would be unconditional. There are no negotiations. There's a lot of intel. There's a lot of reports that we follow up on, on locations, but there are no negotiations going on, nor would we.</s>ARRAF: Now, obviously that's something that the U.S. would like to see, the president's eldest son appearing, as they would very much like to see Saddam Hussein and his whereabouts. but so far, they just haven't had a whole lot of luck in catching those top family members. But on the good news front, McKiernan and other military officials are telling us, and trying to tell the world, that it is getting safer here in Baghdad, even if they haven't caught all of those on the most wanted list, they say they are catching quite a lot more common criminals, and the streets are getting safer, and they have just unveiled a new policy to take guns offer the street, to stop a wave of shootings unleashed after the city fell and there was a vacuum in authority -- Leon.</s>HARRIS: Jane Arraf, reporting live for us from Baghdad. Thank you, Jane.
