More dividends from bagging Saddam

Rowan Scarborough:

"Saddam Hussein's capture 11 days ago is still paying dividends, the nation's highest-ranking military officer said yesterday, with informants readily offering the names of Iraqis leading the insurgency.

" 'It's enabled us to pick up lots of former regime elements,' said Gen. Richard B. Myers, Joint Chiefs chairman, who appeared with Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld at a Pentagon press conference. 'Just yesterday, we picked up 50. Twenty-nine were actually targeted, [were] individuals we wanted. We went after them. Got them. That's just one day. So we've been pretty successful at that.'

...

" 'I think we've gotten more insight into a little bit about structure, how the former regime elements are structured,' Gen. Myers said, just back from a trip to the region. 'And we've had an increase in Iraqis willing to come forward and provide information to coalition forces and to Iraqis.' "
