Watching CNN's live coverage of the press conference where the video of Saddam's capture is being run. While I'm happy for Iraqis that their chief torturer is now in custody, I await to see how a serious War Crimes trial can be conducted without charging those in the West as co-conspirators. Further, I await to see those who rail on and on about their anti-fascist cred, like Nick Cohen and Hitchens, to insist that members of the old Reagan/Bush team be tried alongside old friend Saddam. Again, breath won't be held.
