Regarding the recent capture of Saddam Hussein:
In a week or so, we'll know if he was masterminding the Iraqi resistance. My bet is that he wasn't; he was hiding in a spider-hole with 3/4 million dollars for gosh-sakes.
The real comedy here is that the official statement is that he'll face trial in Iraq. From the CPA? From the new Iraqi democracy? Will we hold him in Guantanamo until Iraq has a court system? And here's the kicker: There are war crimes he could be charged with, but the US says he'll be tried for crimes against Iraqis, so no extradition to the Hague.

WHAT? This is fucked up. I'm sorry. The guy needs the Hague treatment. Seriously.
But whatever. I just live here. What do *I* know...
Yeah, we probably shoulda just let him run free. The Iraqi people don't deserve freedom from him, right? (Eyeroll) Some folks can find a downside in ANY fucking thing.
