Coulter and Estrich up on H&C. Estrich looks like he was embalmed by the same guys that formaldehyded Uday and Qusai!!

The graves tell the story of the fall of the house of Hussein. Just off Tikrit's main street, Saddam built a gaudy mausoleum in dictator kitsch style, to give the appearance of a bond with the father who abandoned him as a child. And at the cemetery in nearby Owja, the Hussein family's tribal homeland, the impoverished mother who raised Saddam is remembered in a building whose functional architecture would suit the laundry block at an Australian country hospital. But when the Al Bunaser tribe gathered on Saturday for the burial of Saddam's sons, killed in a gun battle with...

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration has approved the payment of $30 million in reward money to the tipster who supplied the critical information that led U.S. troops to the hideout of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s two sons, slain two weeks ago, a U.S. official said Thursday. Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web sites) decided to award the tipster $15 million each for information that led authorities to Odai and Qusai's hideout — a total of $30 million, the largest award ever made under the reward program. The brothers were killed by TOW missiles fired into the...

CIA analysis tape 'highly likely' Saddam voice By Tabassum Zakaria WASHINGTON, July 30 (Reuters) - The CIA has determined that a tape broadcast this week purporting to be Saddam Hussein commenting on the deaths of his two sons was almost certainly authentic, a CIA official said on Wednesday. "We've determined it is highly likely to be him," the official told Reuters. On the audio tape, aired by Dubai-based Al Arabiya television on Tuesday, the ousted Iraqi leader said his sons Uday and Qusay who were killed by U.S. forces last week died as martyrs, and he vowed America would be...

Another tape-recorded message from Saddam Hussein surfaced this week, making it the third audiotape he has released in the past month. If we're really serious about finding this guy, maybe we should start searching Iraq's recording studios. On the tape, Hussein acknowledged the death of his sons Uday and Qusay Hussein and called their deaths "good news" – which is more than the Democrats have said. He thanked God for his sons' "martyrdom." Indeed, Hussein said that even if he had 100 other children, he "would offer them the same path." Apparently the alluring path of martyrdom is not one...

<p>MOSUL, Iraq — All day, glaziers from Sheik Nawaf al-Zaydan Muhhmad's contracting firm had been working on the windows of their employer's ornate, three-story villa on the boulevard of Al Falaha in Mosul.</p> <p>Mukhlis Jubori, Mr. al-Zaydan's next-door neighbor and closest friend, was curious. The windows did not need replacing and glass has been scarce since the war. Where was Mr. al-Zaydan, he wondered? He had not seen him for almost three weeks.</p>

TIKRIT, Iraq (Reuters) - An audio tape purportedly from former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) aired on an Arab television station Tuesday vowed to defeat the United States to avenge the deaths of his two sons by U.S. forces. "I mourn to you the deaths of Uday and Qusay and those who struggled with them. You are the honor of this nation. America will be defeated," said the voice on the tape, broadcast by Dubai-based al Arabiya. "They ... died martyrs in the name of jihad (holy war)," the voice said.

Saddam Hussein's oldest son, Uday, fed his love rivals to caged lions, according to reports. Sadistic Uday, who was gunned down in a shoot-out with American troops last week, employed executioners to help carry out gruesome killings at his whim. And his chief executioner has now told how he helped drag two 19-year-old students into a cage at Uday's farm to be devoured by the beasts. The 36-year-old executioner, who has used the false name of Abu Ahmad, told The Sunday Times: "I saw the head of the first student literally come off his body with the first bite." Ahmad...

NBC’s Richard Engel offered a more sweeping scolding than did other reporters of the U.S. for laying out for video cameras the bodies of Uday and Qusay Hussein. He called the decision “controversial” and insisted “all of this has been quite offensive to Islamic sensibilities here. Muslims are generally buried in a simple white shroud without any embalming process at all.” On Friday’s NBC Nightly News, Tom Brokaw asked Engel in Baghdad: “Richard, as you well know, there’s fresh video tonight as well of the bodies of Saddam’s two sons after they were cleaned up by Army morticians. We want...

Uday and Qusay killed to keep them silent on lack of WMD? Newsweek’s Eleanor Clift suggested on the McLaughlin Group over the weekend that the in killing Uday and Qusay Hussein, “two intelligence assets who could potentially lead us to the weapons of mass destruction,” the Bush administration “surrendered a major opportunity to uncover” those weapons “unless,” she added nefariously, “they don’t believe those weapons are there.” Later, she equated President Bush’s State of the Union line about Iraq “seeking” uranium in Africa with the tape erasure in the Nixon White House: “The 16 words are taking on the aura...

U.S. soldiers found a stash of cash and a briefcase of goodies in the mansion where Odai and Qusai Hussein were killed last week. The brothers had $100 million in U.S. dollars and Iraqi dinars, according to a report published Sunday. Based on the contents of a briefcase belonging to Odai, Saddam Hussein's elder son seemed to be preparing more for a night out than a fight. It contained pain-killers, cologne, Viagra, unopened packages of men's underwear, dress shirts, a silk tie and a condom, Newsweek reported. They also had two women's purses. Sunday, U.S. forces focused their hunt for...
