we can give another ping for AP, here's my morning paper
byline Christopher Torchia
In broadcast images, he resembled a desperate fugitive, not an all-powerful president who had ordered his army to fight to the death.

Here's what ir says in the transcript (although it's not ho I remember it when she said it):

Mitchell: And, in fact, I was told that he did not have very much about Iraq in the speech. Deliberately he wanted to say that foreign policy should be beyond Iraq. Not only are they going to rewrite but Hillary Clinton has a speech on foreign policy at the Council on Foreign Relations tomorrow.

Klein: Tomorrow morning, right.

Mitchell: And she had focused much more on Iraq. So she is better positioned just philosophically on this as being more hawkish and more intuned with the administration.

Oops, post 118 was meant for you.

As we DC freepers chant at all the anti-war nuts, "swim to Cuba! Swim to Cuba!"

I happened to be awake when the story broke...

I got in from Mass, the Sunday Telegraph had the story about Saddam being in communication with the leader of the 11th September; then I turned on the news to see his capture which was just breaking.

The B.B.C. was renamed the Baghdad Broadcasting Corporation during the war, but yesterday News24 was full of praise for the capture. The correspondent in Baghdad emphasised that she was wearing a flak jacket because of the ordinary Iraqis celebrating by firing guns in the air.

The nearest thing to a negative point was over the idea of an Iraqi court. It was pointed out that a U.N. court would only be able to impose life-imprisonment, whereas the Iraqis will want him executed. Though even here, the correspondents seemed to agree that as his worst acts were against Iraqis, Iraq should try him.

I find it utterly extraordinary that anybody could have any qualms about his capture. Surely every sane individual will wish to congratulate all of the troops who took part in the operation. But then I suppose that excludes leftists...

Funny how the wackos, on the one hand, demand that we return soveriegnty to Iraq NOW, then suggest that Iraq cannot try Saddam.

Stahl, you're right
