Because They Could

According to the BBC, Saddam Hussein, his half-brother Barzan al-Tikriti, and Former chief judge Awad Hamed al-Bandar were executed just before 6:00AM local time on Saturday [9:00PM CST Friday].

Nothing has been resolved, and no one is safer because of this rush for vengeance.

Update: Riverbend has an end-of-year post up that deals with the pending execution. Read the entire post for the local view of what the year has brought to the Iraqi people.

It’s Spreading

PSoTD notes that Susie Madrak of Suburban Guerrilla is following Billmon’s lead at the Whiskey Bar and dropping out of blogtopia.

Both sites are gone today, so it looks rather permanent.

Their voices and perspectives will be missed, but you have to want to do this to maintain the grind of frequent posting, and there is a “real world” to attend to, beyond blogs.
