"In a basement dug into the sand . . . ."

General Sanchez called it a "spider hole." A very small dugout with a primitive ventilation system. As I recall from the press conference it was in a field close to a small farm house in a village near Tikrit. I'll guess that it was where Saddam spent his nights, and maybe used the farmhouse for other times.

There was a report earlier from Gen. Sanchez that said someone came in with a tip on his location. It was received at 10:50pm IST and the plan executed at 11:15pm IST.

That's good too.

Some family member figured, "Cousin Saddam is gonna get lassooed sooner or later. Might as well cash in while he's still worth a few bucks." (Pointing at the dirt and whistling) "Hey GIs! Lookin' for a 200 pound rat? Dig here!"

I wonder what Katie Couric has to say...

Saddam had cuts near his left eyebrow. These will form the basis of an upcoming lawsuit against the U.S. for 'military brutality'...ala Rodney King. Saddam will win this multi-million dollar lawsuit decided by the 9th Circus and settle in San Francisco....

Have the Europeans demanded he be turned over to the UN to be tried yet?

I haven't heard that so far (but I could be wrong)--but I'm sure Howard Dean and Dennis Kuncinich will.

And who in global politics he bought off with his wealth?

Where he hid his billions?

Where are all the mass graves?

Where is Scott Speicher?

Where is Al-Duhri?

Michael Jackson's brother claims Saddam has been mistreated in custody

Tikrit, Dec 13 - Jermaine Jackson has proof that ``he was very much mistreated.'' He declined to give specifics, saying only, ``The pictures will show you everything.''

knowing that what they stand for is wrong, but also unwilling to go against it for fear of being called uncultured or unintellectual.

As that saying goes, "pride goeth before a fall." They have fallen a long way.

If Omar is still alive, he has to be even more psychotic than he was two years ago.

Probably the only way that part of Ole Sammy Been Laden still alive would be some of his DNA got transferred to the worms that cleaned his remains up two years ago in that cave.

It figures they would want to deprive the Iraqi people their due.
