Commentary
Editorial: Little Red Hen lays an egg.
Cartoon: Tony Auth.
Opinion: Saddam's capture was good thing. "But it won't end the insurgency. It won't deliver stable government to Iraq. It will not turn America's Iraq commitment from a vote loser into a vote winner for George Bush. And with these issues still unresolved, Saddam's capture will not answer the big question of 2003 - was the invasion a good idea?"
