BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - A top official of Saddam Hussein's former regime was reported under arrest Friday after being taken into custody in the Iraqi capital, the U.S. military said.

A top official of Saddam Hussein's former regime was reported under arrest Friday after being taken into custody in the Iraqi capital, the U.S. military said. Is there a legalistic differentiation between being under arrest in a militray action versus being captured?

I'm thinking here that a lot of these guys are glad to be caught, even turning themselves in to get a sweet deal by ratting out the butcher. Under Saddam they were truly deadenders. Anyone who tried to get out would be killed or their family members.
