The NY Post examines Saddam Hussein’s post-capture mood:
"While he's talkative, he's provided nothing substantial. His comments are self-serving, lengthy rationalizations of his behavior, and he punctuates a lot of it with wise-ass and deflective remarks."
This bearded newbie is aiming to rip me off! Execute him at once.

Posted by: AStext at December 17, 2003 at 07:29 AMGiven who's holding him his treatment is going to be humane and fair, very unlike how Dubya would be treated were the tables reversed. But Americans are all gung-ho imperialist murdering freaks right?
He's going to get a halal meal with enough nutritional value to allow him to gain weight and recover his health. The Americans, as the sane and normal among us realise, follow the Geneva Convention and will treat him as well if not much better than any other prisoner of war, much better than he actually deserves. He will assuredly be better treated and last longer than if he were in the hands of the people he ruled and abused for decades.
As an aside I bet anything that Saddam wishes that france *had* gotten involved in the war. He could have surrendered to the french and been in Paris by tea time for Croisants and yellow cake.
