Why Isn't This Big News?

Remember the day Saddam Hussein was captured? The media and the government made a big deal about it. You couldn't turn on the TV without hearing about the "spider hole" they found the man in (notwithstanding the fact that no one ever defined the term "spider hole").

Well, it turns out that the story may not be true at all:Ex-Marine Says Public Version of Saddam Capture Fiction

I'm sure the White House will deny this story, IF they even choose to address it. They'll probably say the soldier is "disgruntled" or something like that. Which begs another question: why are our soldiers so "disgruntled" that they'll make up stories like this?

In any case, where is Hussein now? When will he ever get his day in court? Does it even matter?

More later...
