#1 Thanks to the American soldiers (and a few others who've made the trials possible like the US Marshals), and to a few brave Iraqis who have put themselves in the middle of this process. The Iraqi side has a few warts when viewed up close - but considering the history, they're doing a very good job. Perhaps in time the global insanity regarding Iraq will abate, and these things will be properly appreciated.

#3 was widely seen internationally as a public relations blunder by the way too politically correct.

Over three and a half years since Uday last raped an Iraqi ~~woman~~ girl

Fixed that for you Steve.

As someone said here at the time, the drop table is in feet, not meters

Or pounds, not kilograms. Or hopefully both. But perhaps we should tell them about that after they're finished with Al Majid and Aziz.

And why did Saddam name his daughter Raghead? @:-)

#4 Gorb, perhaps they confused foot-pounds with newtons.
