Wolf Blitzer is interviewing Tommy Franks live now:

No confirmed weapons of mass destruction but they have found materials they are testing and will be looking for more.

The Iraqi army has been destroyed
There is no Iraqi regime control or command in place

Forensic teams are performing tests of places that were bombed where Saddam may have been. He said we have Saddam's DNA and we will do all available tests. He won't consider Saddam dead until we have confirmation.

Can't declare total victory yet because there are still pockets of people fighting--including mercenaries and small group hit squads and suicide bombers paid by Iraqis. He said many are coming from Syria. They have found a lot of recruiting material. He would not say the recruiting effort was endorsed by any other government, including Syria.

Franks will be going to Baghdad in the next few days but there will be no victory parade in Baghdad.

We are very happy that the POWs were freed. They all walked under their own power to the waiting transport. Five are described in good condition, two not so good. They may have gunshot wounds. CNN reported the release was at the instance of the Iraqi's who were holding them --they wanted to surrender. Someone tipped a marine.

pdate: CNN has this report on the Franks interview. Our report was typed watching the interview live.
