Reports in the UK that the body of 'chemical' Ali has been found

Television reports just now in the UK, from reporters in Iraq, say that Ali Hassan Al-Majid's body has been found in the grounds of his home in al-Basrah, which was over-run a day or so ago by British troops.

I do not rejoice in the death of anyone, even someone such as 'chemical' Ali, but I cannot pretend to be in the slightest degree sad that he seems to be dead. The liberation of Iraq is just that little bit closer, it seems to me.
