too lazy to even copy and paste it? whatever I got the backup:
Saddam Hussein's sons Uday and Qusay were killed in a fierce gun battle with U.S. troops at a villa in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul Tuesday after a tip-off from an Iraqi, U.S. officials said.
"We're certain that Uday and Qusay were killed," Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez told a news conference in Baghdad. "We've used multiple sources to identify the individuals."
Uday, 39, Saddam's eldest son, was feared and famed throughout Iraq (news - web sites) for his cruelty and playboy lifestyle. Qusay, born in 1966, was one of his father's most trusted lieutenants.
Sanchez said the U.S. military had been given a "walk-in" tip that Qusay and Uday were in the villa and that the six-hour raid involved various military units, including special forces.
"An Iraqi source informed the 101st Airborne Division today that several suspects including Qusay and Uday ... were hiding at the residence," said Sanchez.
U.S. forces had put $15 million rewards on the heads of each of Saddam's sons.
the military was still working to identify two other bodies recovered from the villa, Sanchez said. Four soldiers were wounded in the operation.
Sanchez said Saddam's sons and the others in the villa had barricaded themselves in and fired small arms at approaching U.S. soldiers.
Saddam himself was not believed to have been at the villa, U.S. officials said. Saddam, who has $25 million bounty on his head, is probably still alive and hiding somewhere in Iraq, they said.
Widespread gunfire crackled across Baghdad after dark as word spread that Saddam's sons had been killed.
"It's celebration. People have heard about what happened," a U.S. military spokesman said.
The deaths of Uday and Qusay could be a telling U.S. gain in the struggle to convince Iraqis the horrors the two sons and their father represent can never return.
It could also bring welcome relief to President Bush ,who has been under pressure over a mounting death toll among U.S. troops in guerrilla-style attacks that they blame on die-hard supporters of the former Iraqi leader.

I thought CNN was trying to let us know that Sadam's kids were dead, but saying it in Pig Latin so Sadam wouldn't realize it.
