"Run to the storm cellar" is what I usually heard.

Do people really go through college and law school to come up with that kind of nonsense!?!?!?!

CNN is harping on the soldier body count.
They should be ashamed of the way they use our heroes as propaganda tools.

If the current crop of media-nincompoops was around in WW2, we'd all be dead.

[Clark, who served as one of a number of defense attorneys for the former Iraqi president, said "the decision will have long term consequences for the peace and stability of Iraq, and for the rule of law as a means to peace." ]

Thanks for your post, Kat. Well, of course I disagree with our esteemed ex-AG. Saddam's execution will most likely aid in stabilizing Iraq (over the long term). And, like that old joke about enemas -- it might not help, but it couldn't hurt!

Several other officials said they had been told to gather early in the fortified, U.S.-defended Green Zone government compound in Baghdad that was once Saddam's palace complex.

A television station run by Maliki's party said a gallows was ready on a parade ground dominated by a triumphal arch -- formed of crossed swords held in hands modelled on Saddam's own.

Where's my Bagdad Cam when I need it????

[onyx]

I'm ready. I hope he's NOT!

[StillProud2BeFree]

I'll see if I can catch the stream and will translate if you' like

[dforest]

Even Mary doesn't care. Ramsey and the NYT do though.

[onyx]

Yep, and in full brilliant color.
LOL
