This is a report from Turkey? Iraqis are going there to surrender? Or, where exactly might the "northern front" be?

It's probably true that most Iraqis can hardly wait to give up, but these prewar surrenders could also be attempt to decrease adrenaline in US troops.

The Chyron specifically said Francis was in Northern Iraq. I'm guessing it's the Kurd-controlled territory that has pretty much been a country unto itself ever since the Gulf War. Saddam has no control over it.
