I love Jon Snow:
Somebody seems to have stitched up Saddam's boys. Quite literally. The grisly corpses have been put on full display in an air-conditioned tented mortuary at Baghdad airport. Not only have they been stitched up following the post-mortem, but they've been given a shave and returned to as lifelike versions of Uday and Qusay as is possible. So next to putting their heads on a pikestaff, the Americans have done all they can to try to prove to the populous that they are who they were. Or were they who they are? Anyway they're dead. This as news breaks that several of Saddam's personal body guard have been arrested near his home town Tikrit. The noose is tightening, say US commanders. We'll have the latest from Iraq at seven.
