Last night on 60 Minutes there was a great segment about the FBI agent who interrogated Saddam Hussein for months before he was turned over to the Iraq authorities. You can watch the story or read about it HERE. The agent, George Piro, did a great job in getting Hussein to open up. He also says his interrogation was done without torture. It took weeks for Hussein to open up, but it was well worth it.

Some interesting information:
-Saddam invaded Kuwait in 1990 because an Emir insulted Iraq during some negotiations
-Saddam never used body doubles
-Most of the WMDs had been destroyed by the U.N. inspectors in the ’90s, and the rest were destroyed by Iraq. Saddam wanted to keep the idea in people’s minds that he had them basically because of Iran
-He did not think that George W. Bush would invade
-Saddam did not like Osama Bin Laden. He did not trust him
-Saddam said it was necessary to use chemical weapons on Kurdish civilians in 1988
-Saddam felt the need to create new WMDs in the future. He had the people there to do it

In my opinion this was probably one of the better stories on 60 Minutes in years. It answered a lot of questions.
