Saddam is dead
Here's what confuses me. A number of newspapers are running photo galleries and retrospectives about a murderous dictator. CNN's front page last night looked similar to what it had done a few days earlier when James Brown died.
The picture was in black and white, and there was a "1937-2006" graphic.
Considering some of the footage CNN has shown since the Iraq war began, I found it laughable that Anderson Cooper said the organization wanted to be "sensitive" in deciding whether to show photos or footage of Saddam's death.
No matter. If his death allowed those he tortured some small amount of peace, then that is the most important thing.
