Saddam was held prisoner by a leader of the Kurdish Patriotic Front, which fought alongside US forces during the Iraq war, until he negotiated a deal. The deal apparently involved the group gaining political advantage in the region.

And Saddam was able to negotiate a deal giving the group political advantage in the region. I didn't realize he would have such political influence after his capture.
