These are hardened terrorists and they are ready for suicide attacks. You think they fear for their lives. Do you really believe they were born this way? Or are they the product of a dysfunctional religious and eductional system? Saddam was unwilling to die in "defense" of his beliefs, yet he was more than willing to pay others $25,000 to die for theirs. Do you think such logic is being ignored by the average Arab on the streets? Interrogating them has produced mis information instead of information. I think you need to revisit the dubious veracity of that argument and see if the evidence supports your point of view. For one, Saddam Hussein was apprehended on the basis of information provided by one of his most trusted security officials, apprehended late last week. And with regard to Al Qaeda, one only has to look at the case of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed: theage.com.au Or Ramzi bin al-Shaibah: uk.news.yahoo.com But most of all, look at how the documentation recovered during the capture of Saddam led to breaking down an entire terrorist network in Iraq: "We've already gleaned intelligence of value from his capture," Gen. Hertling said of Saddam. "We've already been able to capture a couple of key individuals here in Baghdad. We've completely confirmed one of the cells. It's putting the pieces together, and it's connecting the dots. It has already helped us significantly in Baghdad." washingtontimes.com And wait until I put out my next post about Muhammed Atta and Abu Nidal, who was provided sanctuary by Saddam (and later shot on Saddam's orders).
