Everything goes tits up in Iraq

For quite some time I have thought that the timing of the planned verdict in the Saddam Hussein trail, due to be tomorrow, was to be Karl Rove's October surprise. Now it may appear that, if it was indeed intended to boost Republican chances with a positive story from Iraq, it could backfire on the evil genius.

Stories out of Iraq tell us that authorities are preparing for an outbreak of violence should Saddam be convicted and sentenced to death. It is likely that a curfew will be imposed in an effort to minimise the damage.
