Here is my quick synopsis/Japanese-to-English translation (a “Freepranslation”) of the report today from the Japanese news website, ZakZak, attached to the Nikkan Gendai publication in Tokyo.

Title: "Saddam, Digs His Grave By Talking With Wife, Starts to Give Information"

"--The U.S. was greatly assisted by a sophisticated “elint” (electronic eavesdropping) operation involving good cooperation by US, Australian, and British intelligence. The cooperative group was code named “Dream Team”. Of course, former officials of the regime who 'were turned' against Saddam were also instrumental and completed the picture just before the raid.

--The Dream Team went ahead on the theory that Saddam would make every effort to keep in touch with his wife #2 in Beirut, Lebanon. This woman is Samira Shabandar. They centered their coordinated and high level intelligence collection and eavesdropping efforts on her.

--The Dream Team captured important telephone conversations between Samira and Saddam held by satellite telecom, via Inmarsat. Saddam was code-named by them as: “Number One”. The Dream Team had not only this success, but also in using similar methodologies to track down Saddam’s sons, Uday and Qusay and later slaying them.

--Saddam was known to the Coalition as a “ladies man” (in Japanese here, an "enpukuya"). The chap not only was married to wife #1, Zahjida Hairara, but he also stole #2 from a former Ba'ath regime associate, he has a mysterious #3 wife, and finally, he married a German woman, #4 Wife, Iman Fuwaishu (spelling) just last year. Of course, on top of that, he had the closest relationship to #2, but still played the field with five additional mistresses, jacked up on Viagra, having fun every night here and there until the war.

--#2 Wife had already foolishly revealed to the press in Lebanon earlier that Saddam, while on the run, talked to her once a week by phone and would send over letters with details that could not be discussed on the telephone.

--#2 wife claimed that “no way will he ever be captured by the Americans”, but the Dream Team was busy at work with other, conflicting plans in mind for Saddam.

--Dream Team was making Samira “swim”, all the while passing the info off to it's elite, multiforce “Task Force 121”. Based on additional information from captured associates in Baghdad, they lined up details with the telephone conversations, they were able to cross the information and they then finally put the "x" on the map at al-Dawar, near his familiar Tikrit.

--Saddam was asked by Iraqi leaders, current US allies who questioned him in captivity, “just how do you intend to meet Allah (after what he had done to people”. Saddam’s response to them, “I will go to him with a quiet heart.”

--As the four Iraqi officials left the cell, Saddam spat at them “You ________ will be sent to Hell by my Iraqi people!” But once he started 'singing' about the underground fighters, the US got even more information on anti-US resistance elements in Iraq and detained them, too.

--Saddam was described as ‘Saddam the sellout” by US military officers, after he started “singing”."

Hey Saddam, Say hello to Echelon!

[Lokibob]

Is that a picture of the "spider hole" or the bedroom above the spider hole?

[Incorrigible]

KAKKATE KOI!

just says, in Japanese, that it is the bedroom in the farm house, from which he transited, quite often, to the hole he stayed in outside....

[YaYa123]

very interesting. And I'm LOL that the most interesting background stories don't come from American reporters.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Double K's back at ya. :-)

[eureka!]

Kewl. Many thanks. Nice to hear the coward is singing. Must not be a big Metallica/Barney fan...

Saddam was described as ‘Saddam the sellout” by US military officers

I thought it might take a couple months for him to sing. But Saddam probably thinks ('cause it's true) that everyone is his enemy, not deserving of his loyalty or confidence.

Meet me at the spiderhole later, we will feed my pet rats bread crumbs and then take turns trying on brand my new t-shirts.

But do any of Saddam's "songs" ring true?

[r9etb]

But once he started 'singing' about the underground fighters, the US got even more information on anti-US resistance elements in Iraq and detained them, too.

Saddam is such an arrogant dunce, he probably thinks he can outsmart the interrogators. All they want is for him to keep talking, and trying to outsmart them. Then, when he lets slip something that matches other intel, they bag somebody else.

[John Beresford Tipton]

I think that Saddam's associates, especially lower level ones, are singing because they have something to gain, e.g. not getting executed by the Iraqis.

But Saddam knows that he is going to die no matter what he says. He has no incentive to "sing". I believe that his "singing" is disinformation being put out to try to coerce/cajole the underlingings to sing.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Gee. I hope that was saddam talking to No's 1-5, and not you talking to me! :-)

[AmericanInTokyo]

Yep. That's how the do it. And you can be sure he is probably in the middle of his evening interrogation session over in/at ________ right about now.

[riri]

he married a German woman, #4 Wife, Iman Fuwaishu (spelling) just last year

I found this obscure line very interesting.

First when refering to Islamic militants who just happen to reside in Western countries, I really think there should be a better term than "German woman" or "Canadian citizen", it is very misleading. One tends to think of, say in the case of a German woman, something very different.

Secondly, I wonder how it is Saddam comes to meet and marry a German woman such as this?

Oh Europe, you have some very large problems.

Three Relevent Poems

Saddam

They found him in a spider hole,
Just like we knew they would.
Though we are glad I'm sure the Dems,
Feel this is not too good.
I'm sure they all are saddened now,
For Saddam's in our hand.
The French, the Germans, chant along,
The Russians lead the band.
They want the contracts to rebuild,
The Dems want Bush to fail.
Death for Saddam is too swift,
Let’s let him rot in jail.
Congratulations to our troops,
And to our leader here.
George Bush is still the man to lead,
He gets my vote next year.

Cowards

They recently found Saddam,
Hiding in his pit.
I hope this is a warning,
Cowards are not fit.
They do not lead but threaten,
Their people to obey.
They rape and kill their people,
All to get their way.
But take away that power base,
Watch the roaches slide.
Death is for their underlings,
Cowards, they just hide.

Your comments really crack me up,
I’d have to say you’re funny.
As funny as a hemorrhoid,
Or as a nose that’s runny.
Saddam’s capture no big deal,
Your stance is still the same.
You’re really sucking big on this,
I’d say your brain is lame.
But tell me Howie I must know,
These speeches just who writes them?
Katie Couric comes to mind,
Or Michael Moore is it him?
Well Doctor Dean you make me sick,
For malpractice, I will sue you.
Please get a clue, I’ll sell you one,
John Kerry needs a few too.
