That's good news. I hope that the attacks in Iraq drop off and the
situation settles down there.

CNN says the troops that captured him didn't fire a shot.

I'd imagine there'll be a reduction commensurate with whatever control or
influence he (or his continued freedom) still had. I suspect there will
still be other forces at work that aren't operating directly in the name of
Saddam. This does have the potential to be the point at which the tide
turns, though.

Yup, I watched the press conference. Seems that he came across as feeling
that the game was up.
