Now that he's in custody and supposedly cooperating, I wonder if Saddam will have anything to say about this.

I should add, head over to Instapundit, The Corner and The Command Post for a steady roundup of the news and reaction to it. The press' reaction is the most interesting.

[Update just before the President's statement]

OMG! As if things weren't bad enough for the idiotarians, on the same day as Saddam's capture, after years of prodding, cajoling and threats, the inimitable Iowahawk has finally started a blog. Behold it, and despair.

[Update just before noon]

He's continuing to build the site in real time. I just checked a few minutes ago, and he now has finished (or at least better populated) his "About" page, and he's steadily adding to the blogroll. No Paypal button yet, though, despite his admonition.

Rand - I finally made good on that blog threat.

...or the alleged weapons of mass destruction for that matter. It will be interesting to see what Saddam has to say about his ties to France/Germany/Russia in the 1990s and the Reagan/Bush governments before that too.

Not half as interesting as the "intelligent" measured and mature commentary provided on the right by the likes of Andrew Sullivan, Instapundit & co. -- supposedly middle aged grown-ups, all. As usual, Dan Drezner shows he is a man of class though.

Can you imagine a situation where Hitler's death has just been announced -- and contemporary pundits cheapen this historic occasion by more than anything else posting gleeful references to Neville Chamberlain supporters?

Yes, easily Marcus, had the contemporary press and many of our so-called "allies" been continually worshipful of Chamberlain, and fighting hard to keep Hitler in power, and wringing their hands about the prospects of ever finding him.
