Way to go, MSM-America online. 

Relegating live broadcasts of eulogies and prayer services for President Gerald Ford to a sub-link, AOL-CBS gives the death of Saddam Hussein top billing ------ with a full-blown life-scape post and polls to go with the photos. 

Plus they misquote Saddam Hussein's last word (not words).  He said, "Muqtada," not allah is god or great or whatever.  He said those allah- things prior to stepping into the drop-box.  At least that is what a witness has testified. 

Does it actually matter what Hussein said?  Not really, but at least the omnipotent self-decreed news-meisters should GET IT RIGHT once in a while.

So who/what is Muqtada? 

Muqtada al-Sadr .... He's a Shiite upstart cleric thorn-in-the-side of the Iraqi government who hails from Sadr City.  His band of young rowdies actually controls the city.  And he doesn't want ANY foreigners in Iraq.  None.  Zilch. Saddam Hussein killed his father several years ago.  But that's another story, too. 

Several bodyguards/witnesses referenced "Muqtada al-Sadr" as Saddam stepped to the gallows.  Too bad someone didn't also mention the names of the thousands of other Iraqis Saddam killed.  The drop to his death would have been literally lined with the memories of those who paved his descent.             May they rest in peace as Saddam burns in hell.
