Bremer: Saddam 'mentally drained' after capture

In his first hours of captivity, Saddam Hussein appeared to be in good physical condition, but was mentally drained and seemed resigned to his fate, officials who met him say in an interview to be broadcast today.

Paul Bremer, the US civilian administrator for Iraq, and Mouwafak Al-Rabii, a Shi’ite member of the US-appointed Iraqi Governing Council, told the CBS television programme 60 Minutes that Saddam was at times irritable and defiant as they met him in his jail cell this week.
