I will respond to your earlier post later. Not with this developing story. It is good that they captured Saddam.

Indeed it is good that he was captured.. It might possibly prove to be the turning point in gaining the upper hand on the insurgents.

And btw, I'm sorry that my ability to walk and chew gum at the same time (albeit at times somewhat limited) has overly taxed your ability to respond to multiple subjects.

He should be executed under Muslim law, not tried in Western courts. If that happens then it leaves room for propaganda by pro-Muslim elements.

I'm pretty sure the Iraqis will be the ones who put him on trial.. But he's still a terrific source of intelligence that should not be executed just yet..

Don't get in such a hurry... It's even more humiliating to have him in captivity (not like that spiderhole wasn't a form of self-imprisonment)..

And with him in captivity and being pumped for information, it may just cause many of his followers to scurry for cover.
