Off topic...

Less than three hours ago, Saddam Hussein was hanged for crimes against humanity.

I'm not mourning the passing of this man, but the way in which this has happened has left me feeling odd. President Bush has described the trial as "fair", but I don't agree with him. Surely, the former dictator would have received a less biased hearing at the International Criminal Court at The Hague, rather than an Iraqi court, and that's without mentioning the three Judges and three Defence Lawyers the proceedings went through.

A cynical man might point out that this sudden execution, announced hours before it occured, has come very soon after the ISG report.
