We all remember during the war how the media sometimes got reports wrong in the rush to be the first to report things but this time lets hope they're right.

I think that the media has it right this time. I was watching FOX News and the building where the firefight was was just decimated. I think that our military got this one down pat, and we won't have to deal with two more aces in the deck of cards any more.

I happened to be watching a documentary about Saddams sons (mostly Udday) on the History Channel last night, this guy was a monster with no care for human life.
The stories recounted by exiled Iraqi Olympic Atheletes is very applaling, this guy (udday) was rediculously evil.

Good riddance that these two animals are apparently gone. They need to find Saddam, cut off his head, and pit it on a post in central Baghdad. Then maybe the rest of those Saddam "loyalists" will get the picture.

Good news finally from Iraq! I've wanted the two thug sons of Saddam killed more than Saddam himself.
I've heard some messed up stories about Uday after watching a specials about the two sons last night on the History channel. This ass hole raped a girl on her wedding night and took her from the hands of her new husband to rape her!
Hopefully this is true and it looks like it is. Let's home Saddam is next!

It seems very true, I've read (on http://www.spiegel.de/) that they have been killed together with two other Iraqis, of which one is believed to have been the 14-year-old son of one of them (info no longer available on the website). They also report/reported that the bodies had been identified by several persons, by DNA test and by examining old bullet wounds. I guess we can believe it!

One thing about their loving and caring daddy: Wouldn't it be better if he was captured and sentenced to life in prison? And with that, I mean a dark solitary cell, no visits, no books, no music, no personal contact, no whatever-might-make-life-better-than-hell. At least to me, that would seem more of a punishment than being shot in a gunfight; and it wouldn't make a hero (in anyone's eyes) out of him.

If you want gruesome punishments, then how are you better than the original perpetrators?
If they died in a firefight, good. If they were captured and just locked up, also good. If you want gratuitous Really Bad Things to happen even though that won't undo any of their terrible deeds or make anything better - that sounds more like malice than justice.

Nope, Bob, not flamebait. It's just that you don't know what I consider the borderline for punishment.
For example, I would never wish anyone to get raped, or killed, or abused, or severly injured. I also object calling any human being "scum" or the like. The reason why I wrote reply #20 is that I thought about punishment for extremely dangerous and malicious persons, like Saddam Hussein. In an environment like the one I tried to describe he would get an idea of what most people think of him (they hate him), and maybe realize what he's being punished for. After a long period of time, his situation might be improved slowly and perhaps gradually, but he should never be allowed close contact with other persons.
Would that harm him mentally? Perhaps yes, perhaps not - at least it wouldn't be a philanthropist's mind that would get harmed.
The least an eventual trial against Saddam Hussein should provide is some sort of (delayed) gratification for his victims and their loved ones. I don't think that could be achieved by letting him die honourably, like a soldier, in a gunfight.

That is outstanding news-two scumbags of the earth eradicated. That is welcome news.
But again, it's NOT why we were told we went to war? Where are the weapons? The nuke research? The Al Qaeda operatives? As elated as I am to see these two bastards taken out, it's tempered by those continuing questions.

Its great news those two are dead and gone, its also great to she that a Shi'ite cleric was the one to turn them in. They also discovered $50,000,000 worth of US and German currency with them along with intel on the current guerilla leaders causing so much trouble there now. They should give the Cleric $15,000,000 out of the $50 mil they found that would save the US tax payer the cost. Now we need to move forward get Saddam, Usama and find those WMDs.

37 Super Em: They better find Saddam quick and put an end to his power.If they don't, it will only increase the violence against the Americans.
38 GDB: What do you reckon the Iraqi who turned them in will do with the $30 million reward?
40 Qb001: Just heard an expert on Iraq on Radio-Canada. He expressed some skepticism that both Saddam's sons were killed, since they apparently hated each other
41 Yyz717: I agree, it does seem odd that they were together. They were rivals and common sense would suggest they would have separated. If Saddam had doubles, n
