The sons of Hussein, dead: confirmed. A major victory. The only people happier than us about this will be the Iraqis.

UPDATE: An Iraqi "walk-in" informant led to the final battle. Regardless of a reward, that is quite an important gesture of cooperation.

UPDATE II: Think of Iraq as a bit like 1930s America - just tonight, Baghdad citizens celebrated by firing live ammunition into the air. They're rugged people, not least because the last twenty and thirty years of their lives have been in a certain hell. So how to broadcast the confirmation of the sons' deaths? Post-mortem photographs of Udai and Qusai, distributed as leaflets, would not only fail to offend the vast majority of the populace but would be welcomed - by all. And celebrated.
