A very thrilling and dramatic telling of the events leading up to Saddam's capture.
The journalist writing it notes that it is very unlikely that Saddam was the Field Commander for the resistance over the past 8 months, since he spent the entire 8 months on the move constantly. As a result, there is some question as to what the capture will mean for the resistance movement in Iraq. It is also unclear as to whether the financing of the resistance will dry up now that Saddam has been captured.
The journal also notes that the war tribunal will likely be held in Iraq, and that the current government will probably reinstate the death penalty (which has been lifted during American occupation) specifically for this trial.
