That’s true. I think you are right about the footage from Iraq. I remember seeing the pictures, though I don’t remember it winning a Pulitzer. At the same time, I’m not surprised by that, either.

The Left loved Stalin when he was in Power. For that matter, they liked Saddam well enough. CNN was deliberately running Iraqi propaganda right up until the war touched off. And I don’t mean that they made a mistake and did it by accident. They did it as a conscious decision to maintain “access”. Access to what or why (since they were only going to broadcast Hussein’s propaganda) I don’t know. I guess so that they could come clean after Hussein passed his dictatorship to Uday and/or Qusay. I do have to admit, it might would have been interesting to see which one of those whacked his brother first.

Uday was screwier than Qusay and I believe more violent. Qusay, on the other hand was also violent but probably more calculating. Interesting scenerio. But I also liked the way it really turned out. Everyone except Mizz Hussein got what they deserved.
