Eric Alterman:

"I kind of feel the terrorists have won by making me write this, since it ought to be obvious to any idiot, but yes, I’m quite pleased that a monstrous mass murderer (though a former ally to Messrs. Reagan, Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld) will be brought to justice and will not be able to threaten anyone ever again. However, just as obviously, it does little to justify what remains a dishonest, self-destructive, hubristic adventure that continues to undermine our security and the stability of the region with each passing day, but there it is."

On Hard Ball, last night, the Democratic Strategist (I forget his name) made the remark that Saddam received better medical attention than the poor in this country. To which Peggy Nunan replied, "if you believe checking for lice and retrieving DNA samples constitutes "good medical care," I beg to differ with you."

Funny how they never mention how Roosevelt and Truman were allied with that mass murderer Stalin.
