  4. Thex • A SIMPLE STORY (1) The fate of Saddam and network science • The capture of Saddam Hussein: • shows the strong predictive power of networks. • underlies the need to obtain accurate maps of the networks we aim to study; and the often heroic difficulties we encounter during the mapping process. • demonstrates the remarkable stability of these networks: The capture of Hussein was not based on fresh intelligence, but rather on his pre-invasion social links, unearthed from old photos stacked in his family album. • shows that the choice of network we focus on makes a huge difference: the hierarchical tree, that captured the official organization of the Iraqi government, was of no use when it came to Saddam Hussein's whereabouts.
