We expect that Saddam isn't being turned over to anyone--either the Iraqis or a World Court--until the U.S. has finished interrogating him. We don't expect anything of value to come from the interrogation --either do these experts--but it appears to be the Bush modus operandi.

His information grows more outdated by the hour, and other leaders from Saddam's topped government can move or take other steps to avoid capture....Intelligence officials have previously said they believe Saddam was too concerned with survival and staying hidden to provide much more than symbolic leadership.

"Given the location and circumstances of his capture, it makes it clear that Saddam was not managing the insurgency, and that he had very little control or influence.

In the end, Saddam's account of his weapons program may primarily hold only propaganda value to the administration, once it is publicized, said Robert Baer, a former CIA operations officer involved in efforts to overthrow Saddam in the 1990s. "I can imagine at some point the man's going to be broken, psychologically," Baer said, suggesting interrogators will make Saddam dependent on them for news. "It's pretty clear now there were no WMD. So you get some statements about his intentions to build them - I think he always had the intention to go back and reconstitute this stuff."

They're going to use every interrogation method in the book, short of torture," said Vince Cannistraro, a former CIA counterterrorism chief. "What are they going to get from him? He's not going to admit he has done all these horrible things. He's going to say he was firm and fair."
