Morquesse - sorry I'm a little late to the party here but just wanted to draw your attention to a passage from ROTK where the Sam overhears the Orcs discussing what they're supposed to do with Frodo, and the leader says that the "prisoner is to be stripped." Another Orc (sorry, it's late - the name is escaping me) says "Stripped? What, teeth, nails, hair, everything?"<P>Granted these weren't Saruman's Orcs, but still I get the impression that when it comes to things like interrogation, an Orc's an Orc for a' that. If that was their common definition of stripping, I would imagine that "spoiling" probably involved pretty much everything except using their severed heads as cannonballs a la the siege of Minas Tirith. So basically what Saruman is saying is that he wants them both alive and not rendered either immobile or brain dead.
