They say he's singing like Pavarotti:

Saddam Hussein has given his U.S. captors information on hidden weapons and as much as $40 billion he may have seized while he was Iraq's president, an Iraqi official has been quoted as saying.

"Saddam has confessed the names of people he told to keep the money and he gave names of those who have information on equipment and weapons warehouses," Iyad Allawi, a member of the U.S.-appointed Iraqi Governing Council, told the London-based Asharq al-Awsat daily.

Very interesting, indeed. The real worth of these reports will obviously be known when weapons and equipment have been recovered. I'll keep watch and update as information makes itself available. Interestingly enough, Saddam's latest confession was somewhat part of Sherwin Rubenstein's New Year predictions, intriguing in their own right.

NOT TRUE, OR COY?: The military is apparently denying this particular story (though not its substance). No link yet.
