Saruman didn't know one Halfing from another. All he knew is that one of the Halflings was carrying the One Ring. <P>Of course, he couldn't go into details about that with the Orcs. One of them might try to take it to Sauron, or keep it for his own.<P>I suppose it never occurred to Saruman that his Orcs wouldn't get the right Hobbits, or that any of them would escape.
