Here’s a charming obit of General “Chemical” Ali Hassan al-Majid.
His death was far quicker than the many he inflicted. One’s only consolation is that, either by the religious beliefs of his countrymen, or my own, he’s in a lot more trouble now than he would have been before a war tribunal.

I heard that it may not be his body now.
I can’t think of a person I’d rather see dead more than him, except for one or five world leaders — Hussein, Mugabe, a handful of others. This guy was sick.
There have been conflicting reports on his body — last I’d heard, pretty much everyone (British, local Iraqi) thought it was him, but they hadn’t gotten the conclusive tests back yet.
