Five Years Later, How They Got Saddam Hussein

Morning Edition, December 12, 2008 · Former Army Staff Sgt. Eric Maddox talks about his role in the capture of Saddam Hussein five years ago. Maddox used non-violent interrogation methods to discover Saddam's whereabouts by closing in on Saddam's inner circle of bodyguards. Maddox talks with Steve Inskeep about he got the information to get Saddam.
