Youtube, mourning along with the Jihadist, has pulled videos of the Saddam execution already.

The Fiskies are being handed out, and he’s not eligible, obviously, because he’s already won the award, but Robert Fisk demonstrates why the award is named after him.  All others, even Monbiot, even Carter, are pale copies of the original Fisk. We’ve shut him up. The moment Saddam’s hooded executioner pulled the lever of the trapdoor in Baghdad yesterday morning, Washington’s secrets were safe.
