'Don't shoot,' the bearded, submissive man said to the
soldiers. He was Saddam Hussein, hiding in a hole, the
man the Pentagon called 'High Value Target Number
One.'


Wow! that is really serious! REALLY SERIOUS!

A presumed major league combatant turned coward in the face of the enemy is the only way that can play.

Even in the US Armed Forces, cowardice in the face of the enemy (even by a private) is a court-martial and possible death sentence offense. In the ME the death sentence for cowardice is carried out immediately.

I wonder how hamas, hizbollah, aq, and other terror leaders will view this.

Hopefully, more of them will have this decision to make very soon. I think they will.
