Jamie in Baghdad also thinks the capture of Saddam could be imminent.

In an e-mail she writes:

There's an incredible sense of anticipation that nabbing the big fella is going to happen sooner rather than later. The overwhelming feeling is that since they got the boys daddy can't be too far away. The net is closing in, the noose is tightening, etc etc etc etc. Who knows if it's true?

I spoke to a senior coalition official the other day who tipped me off hours before it was officially confirmed that Udai and Qusai were killed and he seems to think it was a matter of days. When the reward was announced he thought it would take 30 days. It only took 19 to bust the boys. He's optimistic. We're on constant Saddam alert. My bet is for sure he'll go down with a bang. This guy won't come out with his hands up.
