COLLINS RELEASES STATEMENT ON THE CAPTURE OF SADDAM HUSSEIN

"The capture of Saddam Hussein is great news for the people of Iraq and a tremendous victory for our troops.

"When I was in Iraq in July, I learned how important it was to capture Saddam to reassure many Iraqis who feared his eventual return to power. The mass grave I saw was a powerful testament to Saddam's brutal and repressive regime.

"Saddam's apprehension should help the coalition forces and the Iraqi people move forward in establishing a free and secure country."
