How does Saddam's capture affect the WMD search?
Now that Saddam is captured, how can the Administration continue to claim that the WMDs are hidden in Iraq? If they don't come up with a discovery real soon, I think that this very legitimate question should be raised. The one person in the world who would know where the Iraqi WMD's are hidden is now in custody, so we should now know once and for all the exact story. Let's see if the media will ignore this obvious conclusion.

1. If they Plant WMD....
Saddam's capture could actually be a gold mine for them, because they can claim he led them to the locations therefore lending a sense of legitimacy to the "surprise" discovery (naturally sometime closer to the elections).

I wouldn't underestimate the implications of this.

3. Who knows
Good question, time will tell. I'm sure he's being debriefed right now, since we've taken him out of Iraq...
