I just checked Wiki on Baghdad Bob:

"...His fame quickly evaporated as the war continued into the insurgency phase; from the middle of 2003 onward, he faded from the public spotlight, and was no longer a figure in the war.

Although questioned by American authorities, al-Sahhaf was released, and there has been no suggestion of charging or detaining him for his role in the Saddam Hussein government. He is now living in the United Arab Emirates with his family.[citation needed]

When asked where he had got his information he replied, "authentic sources—many authentic sources".[11] He pointed out that he "was a professional, doing his job".

In 2009 a warrant was issued for his arrest on charges of extrajudicial killings whilst a member of the Iraqi regime[12]"

I googled and found no more recent info on Baghdad Bob. He's apparently disappeared into the same black hole as did Peter Arnett.

He's still telling lies.
