#2 Mwahahaha!

:P

And yes, anybody reading this should read the whole thing, which I posted in full for Fred to take apart. You can read my own thoughts on the thing over at my blog, but this is pretty damning stuff.

#3 Amen, and on another note that was mentioned yesterday, there's this unrelated little goodie at the bottom of the page.

#5 The secular versus islamist divide matters as much as it the communist versus nazi matterred for the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact: at one point the bad guys realize that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Re:#4: I think it's fairly safe to say that Saddam had him killed because, as Dan already pointed out, dead men tell no tales.

Re:#5: From the Seven Habits of Highly Effective Pirates: The Enemy of My Enemy is my Enemy's Enemy; no more, no less. There's also that old traditional Arabic saying, "Me against my brother, me and my brother against my uncle, me, my brother, and my uncle against the world."

#7 TGA - I wanted to acknowledge Schroeder's respectful and warm message to Pres. Bush:

German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, in a message to US President George W Bush

It's with great delight that I learned of Saddam Hussein's capture. I congratulate you on this successful operation.

Saddam Hussein caused horrible suffering to his people and the region. I hope the capture will help the international community's effort to rebuild and stabilise Iraq.

Contrast it with Chirac's statement through a press secretary:

The president is delighted at the arrest of Saddam Hussein.

This is a major event which should strongly contribute to the democratisation and the stabilisation of Iraq, and allow the Iraqis to once more be masters of their destiny in a sovereign Iraq.

#8 rkb, thank you.

And I believe Schroeder really meant what he said.
