#1 The "Goodfellas" analogy is now complete, with Tariq assuming the Ray Liotta role. Uday and Qusay were both Joe Pesci, Izzat is Deniro, and of course Saddam is Paul Sorvino (although unlike his Hollywood counterpart, Saddam won't die in prison).

#2 A friend of Chalabiâs said: âThe Iraqi administration wants a quick and clean trial and to execute Saddam before the election. Salem got in the way because he wanted a fair and thorough judicial process.â

I'm curious about one thing - what's the damn difference if Hussein gets a fair trial or not? Nobody's arguing that he's innocent of the atrocities that occurred under his reign of terror. As a result, he's likely to be found guilty in any court and then subsequently executed, so I don't see the point in worrying about whether his trial is "fair" or not.

#3 Tariq assuming the Ray Liotta role

What? He'll be doing the main character's voice for the next "Grand Theft Auto" game?

#4 Loosened his tongue with the threat of the needle, did they?

Or maybe they just used needles in the tongue.
