"Irishman" who caught Saddam

From today's Boston Globe:
"This is a true American story -- we were blessed to come here, we worked hard to educate our kids, and now Jim is giving something back to this country we adopted," said Anne Marie Hickey, who spoke to her son on the telephone Sunday.
From today's Chicago Sun Times:
His mother, Anne Marie, got wind something big was happening at about 4:45 a.m. Sunday when her son Ken phoned. She immediately thought the worst -- that someone had died.

"You know the Irish,'' said Anne Marie, a native of Aclare, County Sligo.
