Den Beste points out an important part of the significance the killing of Saddam's sons has:
And it indicates the extent to which Iraqis are beginning to support the occupation, because the raid was based on a tip from someone local. That person will likely be eligible for the $30 million reward money, and it is likely that the money was a significant incentive (as, indeed, it was intended to be). But this indicates something deeper, because even $30 million is no good to a dead man.
