All good news, it seems. Particularly the news that the Shiite imams are turning against the regime. Not surprising, considering how they've been treated. Religion carries a lot more sway over here then people realize and an imam is far more likely to be taken seriously by the broad population then a local political leader. The Israeli papers are reporting that Saddam is likely to either commit suicide or try to use chemical weapons against the Allied troops. This is all assuming he's still alive, which, frankly, I think is very unlikely. The next few hours should be decisive.
