An 11-member American military team began advising the Iraqi commanders here last spring.

By Sunday morning, more than 200 people had been arrested, Iraqi commanders said.

The Iraqi commander knew he was safe until this Morgan character arrived, but after that.

The Iraqi commanders, many of them large men stuffed into new uniforms designed by the allied forces, cut quickly to a central concern.

Now it's not even clear whom the newly named Iraqi commander is commanding.

The Iraqi commander said he believed the purpose of the second field was to keep his troops from fleeing north when the invasion began.

We don't know the answer, and the Iraqi commanders may not know it, either.

"From what our intelligence is picking up, some of the Iraqi commanders themselves have not heard from him," said one senior official.

The Iraqi commanders, he said, "feel they've got the situation under control."

The soldiers are shown squatting or sitting on a parade ground and listening to a speech by an Iraqi military commander.
