How'd We Get Saddam: 'Torture Lite'
So why did an informant cough up Saddam's whereabouts? According to this article, "torture lite" played a role.
CNN explained: "It is unclear whether anyone will receive the $25 million bounty because the information leading to his capture came under duress." A "senior administration official" confirmed to Newsday that the man "didn't provide any information willingly." Col. Hickey told reporters that the informant first gave false information, and "there was three or four hours of questioning before he blurted Saddam's location."
