#1 The infantryman that found him should of dropped a gernade down the hole just to be on the safe side

#2 I think the Iraqis should really use the model employed by the Italians for Mussolini. Photos and all. Rituals are for the hollywood types. Just fastforward to the end.

#3 There seems to be a lot of sky is falling the the MSM today. And being the perverse person I am, I find it reassuring. Every time the sky is falling it is because we are pushing the enemy and they are resisting. When they start pusing on us, I'll stop yawning.

#4 Then we could be positive. ie. the longer he is held in detention the closer he gets to an event which cancels his license for oxygen.

#5 Bravery and courage are required to gain and sustain the blessings of liberty. I fear that the Iraqui people have neither. They talk a big talk, but when it comes to walking the walk and making things happen, they come up as short as our liberals and democrats.

Another thing: I could see why they'd be afraid if a PROSECUTION lawyer had been killed, but it was a DEFENSE lawyer who was murdered. Logic seems to be lost on these people.

*sigh* ship his ass to Iran.

#6 I've said it many times before...there's a chance that Sammy will walk.

#7 there's a chance that Sammy will walk.

In the unlikely chance that Saddam Hussein does end up walking after a great many years of sitting in the dock contesting the many and various charges that will be filed against him... He may walk, but he certainly will not be left in peace to walk far.

No worries -- Iraq has more than its share of not-nice people.

#8 Maybe Saddam will talk about how Reagan and the US supported his murderous regime against Iran? Maybe he will talk about his meeting with Rumsfeld? I would love to hear what he has to say about Us complicity in his regime!
