Saddam Hussein's sadistic, demonic spawn, Uday and Qusay, have been killed in Mosul. According to CNN, U.S. Special Operations team Task Force 20 -- backed-up by 200 members of the 101st Airborne's 2nd Brigade, armor, and air power -- killed the pair and two others after a six-hour firefight. A walk-in tipster betrayed the pair's location.
The two were widely considered the most brutal in a brutal Baathist regime. Qusay was in charge of Iraq's intelligence services. Uday organized the paramilitary Fedayeen Saddam, "headed the country's Olympic Committee and was reported to have tortured athletes who did not compete as well as he hoped," the Washington Post notes.
