#1 It's amazing how much innocent ink the NYT is spilling over this non-story.

#4 The Times must have fucked up. This story does not clearly blame the U.S. Miltary.

#5 It's not like the industrial shredders where available that didn't seem to bother MSM during Saddam's days in power. Ounce of outrage expressed during the gruesome deaths of thousands at his and his sons' hands? I guess laughter rather than taunting by the executioners is considered high culture by MSM.

#7 They should used the industrial shredder feet first then fed him to pigs. The only thing that offended me about the proceedings was allowing the man to wear that tailored coast the NYT is rubbing itself over. How many peasants were slaughtered on the altar of Moloch to buy it? But their deaths, as with so many others, are insufficient to raise the ire of "the left".

#8 Saddam's clothes have been worn by many older, prominent Muslims in the ME for decades.

#9 As FOX's FRED BARNES had indic, Iraqi Sunnis are realizing they made a big mistake in not participating in post-IRAQI FREEDOM local elex, which by extension includes any Sunni-specific pretense of "saving" Saddam.
