#2 Noticable slant. Oh, it's AP...

"others got away, apparently tipped off about the raid...
Elsewhere, a suspect was punched in the head and a soldier said: ’’You’re dead. You’re dead.’’...
’’Locksmiths will make a lot of money these days,’’ said a U.S. soldier, laughing as he sat atop a Bradley...

...waving his weapon wildly and shooting at any puppies or baby ducks he saw...

’’He is still in greater Baghdad,’’ said council member Mouwafak al-Rubaie. ’’Maybe he will stay there until he stands trial.’’

Politicians are all the same.

The United Nations, the Vatican and many countries oppose putting Saddam on trial before any court that could sentence him to death and others have expressed worries Iraq’s justice system cannot try him fairly.

Tough shitski, comrades. Try not ignoring the "obvious guilt" factor. Very big in islamic areas, I understand...

He'll get a fair trial and a first-class hanging. New rope an' everything. Probably be the Iraqi social event of the season.

#3 With Saddam in custody, the most wanted Iraqi fugitive is Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, a high-ranking member of the former regime thought to be organizing anti-U.S. attacks.

Now that Hussein himself is in custody, any other wanted individuals that are found should simply be dispatched, no questions asked.
