·  U.S. soldiers divided over Saddam’s execution - On patrol in Baghdad, 
some cheer, some worry about insurgent backlash

·  Jonathan Chait: Bring back Saddam Hussein - Yes, I know. Hussein is a 
psychotic mass murderer. Under his rule, Iraqis were shot, tortured and 
lived in constant fear. Bringing the dictator back would sound cruel if 
it weren't for the fact that all those things are also happening now, 
probably on a wider scale.

alerted the American people that the war in Iraq will go on for a long 
time -- easily into the next presidency.

vigorously. In the tape-recorded interview, Ford was critical not only 
of Bush but also of Vice President Cheney -- Ford's White House chief of 
staff -- and then-Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, who served as 
Ford's chief of staff and then his Pentagon chief.

for officials who went on to become linchpins of George W. Bush's 
government a generation later.

could be an onslaught of investigations by the new Democratic-led 
Congress by hiring lawyers to fill key White House posts and preparing 
to play defense on countless document requests and possible subpoenas.

·  In New Orleans, Ex-Tenants Fight for Projects - The heritage of 
suspicion and misery separating this city’s poorest residents from its 
comfortable classes is playing out in a fierce battle over the future of 
the public housing projects here, a fight in which the shelter of as 
many as 20,000 people is at stake.
