The horror of what the tourists are now enduring as hostages of the armed thugs in the convention center will make Saddam's sons look like choirboys when the news becomes widely reported.
I hope it isn't that bad, because Uday Hussein was a truly depraved, heartless sociopath.
I really don't comprehend the lack of response to the convention center violence. It seems to me this situation justifies dropping in several hundred paratroopers ASAP to restore order. The slowness of the response to this crisis is astounding.
I read a couple of hours ago that the mayor had ordered everybody out of the convention center and told them to start walking over the bridge. I assume this means in the direction of the SD, and it seemed that there would be police or NG along the route.
