We've heard for a couple of days now that the capture of Saddam Hussein won't have any effect on the violence in Iraq, since he probably wasn't running things from a hole in the ground. And there have been some attacks over the last 36 hours.
But, we now know that while he was found with only $750,000, one of the men aiding him was found with $2,000,000. Based on information gained at Saddams arrest, 2 high ranking officers in theresistance have been captured. And most telling, documents in Saddam's briefcase have identified 14 terror cells in Baghdad, each consisting of about 25 men. Many of those cells have been captured, and supply lines are being disrupted.
That's certainly not "No effect."

They say the US lied (of course) on the 'surrender' of SH. What a crock!
