GOT HIM!:
Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, who had been the most senior aide to Saddam Hussein still on the run in Iraq, has been captured in the town of Tikrit, Iraq's defense ministry said on Sunday.
This is great news: not only a heinous criminal will finally receive the punishment he deserves (remember, this guy was the commander of the Iraqi forces who massacred the kurds with chemical weapons, and has been the right-hand man of a genocidal dictator) but there's a chance that the 'insurgency' might wind down at least a little.
