Also, it never mentioned if Saruman mentioned it to the council. He didn't mention a lot of things. Gandalf didn't want to speak of his duel, and as proud as Saruman was, it seems like one of those-beyond any of you-battles. Or maybe it watched him leave then attacked the others, it's all speculation anyway, but Saruman may not have known, or just may have known when to keep his entrancing mouth shut. Plus, it had no relevence to the war of the ring.
