It’d be great if we finally offed the Hussein boys. And I don’t mind at all that they’re dead, though watching them do the perp walk would be fun. But it will be a shame if their bodies are so badly burned we can’t show the corpses on Iraqi TV (which sounds like a possibility). One of the reasons it’s so important we catch or kill the Husseins is to prove that they’re not coming back. If their bodies are so badly burned so as to be unrecognizable, people will just have to take America’s word. That’s certainly good enough for me, but I don’t know if it’d be good enough for the conspiracy-obsessed and America-distrusting people of the Middle East.
