Iraq Council Member Says Saddam 'Broken,' 'Ruined'

By Joseph Logan

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) in detention is a broken man, apparently seeking the mercy of his captors to protect him from his own people, an Iraqi official who met him after his arrest said Monday.

"I found a very broken man. He was, I think, psychologically ruined and very demoralized. His body language showed that he was very miserable," said Muwaffaq al-Rubaiye, who met Saddam on Sunday with Iraq (news - web sites)'s U.S. governor Paul Bremer and Lieutenant- General Ricardo Sanchez, the top U.S. soldier in Iraq.
