#1 Two cousins of the former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein have reportedly been granted asylum in Sweden and were hiding in an unnamed town.

...and will shortly organize Hussein's trial defense team from their location.

#3 I wonder if the Swedes will care at all if the Iraqi federal prosecutors office produces reams of documents implicating these birds in horrific crimes. They will probably retain their "asylum" status *and* Iraq will be turned down because it has a death penalty.

#4 Wonder if these two birds will mooch off the Swedish welfare state or whether they have their own independent funding.

I'm also wondering if the Swedish government budget deficit took a sudden dip downward.

#5 Sweden will grant anyone asylum as long as they meet the following requirements:

* They are opposed to Israel and America
* They are Muslims
* They have a darker complexion than Scandinavians
