Feeling stressed

Pressure gets results:

The government was expected to give details later on Monday of the capture of Saddam Hussein's half-brother, Sabawi Ibrahim al-Hasan al-Tikriti, a top-level Baathist accused of directing the Iraqi insurgency from Syria.

Ibrahim, an intelligence chief and one-time adviser to Saddam, was number 36 on the U.S. military's list of the 55 most-wanted people in Iraq. His arrest was announced on Sunday.

A senior government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters that Syria, under pressure due to accusations it was behind recent attacks in Israel and Lebanon, had played a role in giving Ibrahim up.

Half-brother, all prick.
