This is certainly good news! I expect to see him brought to justice and expect nothing less than a completely above-the-board, legal and fair trial. Which is a hell of a lot more than he ever gave his people, and likely a hell of a lot more than he deserves. But I want no loopholes, no loose ends, no doubts that he was tried fairly. History is watching how this all unfolds, after all.

Does Hussein's capture change my mind about the war on Iraq? No. Team Bush's "justification" for this war was that 1) Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and 2) he was about to use them against the US. There also was just enough innuendo fed to the American public to make a significant portion of them believe that Saddam Hussein was responsible for the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center despite the fact that there has been NO verified evidence of such! Zero, zip, zilch, nada, noneatall.

So, let's see if Hussein leads Team Bush to those WMDs...and let's see, provided they find said WMDs, just how close they were to being fired on US targets.

By the way...I'd like to take a minute to point out that Osama bin Laden, the "leader" who actually is responsible for 9/11, is still at-large. And, I believe, much more likely to pose a threat to the American people than Saddam Hussein was.

But at the end of it all...my thoughts are with the Iraqi people. I am glad that they are no longer ruled by such a demonic creature. And I look forward to the day when they are truly free. Free to choose how they want their country run. Free from interference from the war lords and overlords--including George W. Bush. It's time to pull out Team Bush's "interim" government and let the Iraqi people decide how their homeland is going to heal from decades of brutality, chaos and destruction. My hopes and prayers are with them today.
