...Also captured was Husam al Yemeni, whom a U.S. official in Iraq says was supplying money to the anti-American resistance and commanding attacks against coalition forces. Yemeni, says another U.S. intelligence source, is "an al-Ansar guy" and an aide to Abu Mousab al-Zarqawi...
...last week came the announcement that U.S. forces were releasing several hundred nonviolent Iraqis who were being held for anti-American activities--a small start in getting angry locals to sign on to Washington's plan for self-rule. Bush's Baghdad team is also distributing a million leaflets throughout Iraq urging participation in caucuses for a constitutional assembly and interim administration. Over the next couple of months, up to 25,000 Marines will replace the Army's 82nd Airborne Division, and the Marines are getting etiquette lessons to help them win the hearts and minds of the locals--something...

...Saddam, of course is not dead - the immediate future might be a lot easier for the coalition, for his would-be inheritors on the Iraqi Governing Council, and even, perhaps, for anti-American insurgents if he were. Instead, the U.S. and its Iraqi allies have to contend with the question of what to do with Saddam the prisoner: Whether to try him in Iraq or abroad; how to extract essential information from a doomed man without offering him a deal, and so on. Even more important is the question of whether his capture, together with the earlier elimination...
