What did he do that was illegal? Or is every person that held a job paid by the government guilty of something?

Iraq's U.N. Envoy: 'The Game Is Over'
24 minutes ago

UNITED NATIONS - Iraq (news - web sites)'s U.N. ambassador said Wednesday "the game is over" � and that means the war is over.

Mohammed Al-Douri expressed hope that the Iraqi people will now be able to live in peace.

His comments were the first admission by an Iraqi official that U.S.-led forces had overwhelmed Iraqi forces after a three-week campaign.

"My work now is peace," he told reporters outside his New York residence. "The game is over, and I hope the peace will prevail. I hope the Iraqi people will have a happy life."

Al-Douri was asked what he meant when he said "the game is over."

"The war," he responded.

When asked about Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites), Al-Douri said he had no "relationship with Saddam."

"I have no communication with Iraq," the ambassador said.

Questioned about Al-Douri's comments, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said: "Well, I would say it wasn't a game, first."

Speaking in Washington, Rumsfeld said the war was "over" when Saddam refused to accept his last chance to cooperate with the U.N. disarmament resolutions. "It was only a matter of time after that."

Rumsfeld added that there was still lots of "difficult, dangerous" work ahead in Iraq.

Earlier, Al-Douri told Associated Press Television News: "This is a war, and there will be a winner and someone who is a loser."

When asked what he thought about scenes being broadcast from Baghdad, he said, "Well I don't know really, I watch the television like you."

He said that because of the war he has been unable to contact any government officials "for a long time."
