Processing XML data from a table

We have an XML column in a SQL Server 2005 table. Each row of this table contains one XML document.

I want to shred values from the XML documents and process these within a Data Flow. I want the Data Flow to execute once across a record set comprised of all of the XML documents.

I can shred the XML using a For-Each loop and XML Task. I'm kinda stuck on how I then get the data from variables into a Recordset or similar so that I can process this within single iteration of a Data Flow.

Or - is my approach incorrect? I seem to be building a verbose and clunky solution to this problem. I know I could accomplish the same in a pretty simple SQL statement using .value on the XML column... am I missing something? Is a SQL query just better suited to this problem?

Any help much appreciated.
