Yahoo! News - Saddam Fit and Well After Hernia Operation
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Saddam Hussein underwent a hernia operation at a U.S.-run hospital inside Baghdad's Green Zone two weeks ago and has made a full recovery, a U.S. military official said Wednesday.

The former Iraqi president, who was captured by U.S. forces on Dec. 13 last year, had previously received treatment for hernia problems and had suffered discomfort in recent weeks.

"They eradicated the problem and dealt with it. There were no complications and no concerns," said the military official, who asked not to be identified.

Saddam gets health care, but millions of Americans don't. Isn't that nice.
