That could be right. I don't care how he was found, but it would be the extra frosting on the cake if we don't even have to pay over the reward $$ because it was a Saddam loyalist already in jail that turned him in.

At one point, I'd have been disappointed that Saddam was captured alive.

But after reading about how important it was for the national psyche in both Germany and Japan to participate in trials against the evil people, I've come to realize that such trials can heal a nation. It will be a catharsis for the innocents in Iraq that they will be able to watch/participate in a trial against Saddam.

The Iraqis at the presser want the trial to be public and televised.

I tried telling my father this, and he loudly disagreed with me. He said he should already be dead. I said, get every bit of info out of him, then let the Iraqis met out justice. He wasn't sure that would be the case.

I said, "1 million dead Iraqi people would beg to differ!"
