#1 Might tie into this (from www.strategypage.com):

Senior Iraqi officials have made clear that they will demand Saddam Hussein be turned over to them for trail when the new Iraqi takes control on July 1st. The U.S. may not want to hand him over that soon, because the CIA is using some new and novel interrogation techniques that require long periods of time to break down the subjects resistance to providing information. The CIA knows that once the Iraqis get Saddam and try him, they will probably execute him. Saddam will take a lot of valuable information to the grave if it is not gotten out of him first. Saddam was in the middle of all manner of diplomatic and political dirty business for over three decades. Saddam knows who did what to whom, or tried to. Getting Saddam to talk would fill in a lot of blanks and make it clear who was reliable, or just a good liar, since the 1960s.

#2 I was right. They got him thinking the 70s, 80s, and 90s were all just chapters in the great Arab Novel they he got caught up in and went berserk. He's come out of the clouds and is now beloved as Iraq's greatest writer, an Arab answer to Burroughs.

#3 "Some new and novel techniques"

They might try some old techniques the Russians used... place 2 scorching hot boiled eggs under the armpits of Saddam... he'll talk in five minutes.

Leaves no traces either.
