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 underlings to sing.

Maybe, maybe not. Saddam has a vested interest in dragging this thing out and giving up just enough information to scare France, Germany and Russia into getting involved to protect him from the death penalty. We can look forward to some slight softening in the opposition from "Old Europe" and Russia, but don't look for a complete turnabout. Old Europe has too much to lose if prosecution of Saddam proceeds without international interference.

Now that is very good analysis based on past performance, and you may very well have it right.

To those who say he is trying to give out disinformation, I would direct your attention to at least two FR posts that tell of stunning raids, arrests, and killings of Saddam-ites in the last 48 hours. We have the intel and the confirmation; and we are acting on it. It's what MG Odierno (CG, 4th ID) called 'actionable intelligence'.
