The fratricide starts. It is slow, but will roll like a snowball before this is done.

Let's just pray they were none of our intelligence assets. Saddam may have found out who tipped us off for that decapitation bombing...

If I had to guess, I would say that a few officers may have questioned Saddam's orders through Chemical Ali to send out the tanks to certain destruction yesterday, and that was their death warrant.

Wonder if they got the wood chipper?

IMO, we ought to step back and allow the terrorized people to quench their bloodlust once the war stops.

Great!! We have our guys taking care of business, and we have Iraqi's help too. This war shouldn't last long at this rate.

Them. By a wide margin. After the 1991 war, saddam "quelled" several uprisings. There weren't very many survivors.

Iraqi commander Ali Hassan al-Majeed ordered seven Baath officials in Basra executed... Isn't that Hussein's job? Could it be that al-Majeed doesn't fear usurping Hussein's power?

This article is a bit puzzling.
If these 7 officials presently are in Basra
how do they plan to get to them
through British lines
to carry out the orders?

Good point. We don't know what this means, but it's encouraging when the jackals start to tear at each other.
