Saddam's Documents
Maybe its just me, but this sounds like a HUGE load of propaganda bullshit. I don't believe that Saddam was "controlling" or masterminding the insurgency in Iraq in the first place (rumor has it that the U.S. knows that many of the attacks are from disgruntled citizens who just want us out and not really from Saddam-sympathizers or Al Qaeda- but we wouldn't want that story to get out), but I have a VERY hard time believing that Saddam is running around the desert in Iraq hiding from U.S. and "coalition" forces and barricading himself in small underground spiderholes- but that he is also carrying a briefcase full of important and sensitive documents with him.
But documents found with him after his mid-December capture in a hole near his home town of Tikrit have provided better than expected information
The same article also has the audacity to say:
However, with Saddam gone and intelligence-gathering improving, guerrilla cells were finding it harder to communicate and coordinate large pre-planned attacks, he said.
I haven't noticed any decline or stoppage in attacks. Bombings and ambushes and shoulder-launched rockets taking down helicopters are still happening daily at the same rate as they were when Saddam wasn't captured.
The whole thing just wreaks of the government trying to spin Saddam's capture- which was never a real goal of going to Iraq- into way more than it is and ride its coattails for as long as possible as if its some holy grail.
