The war coverage on espn would have been a better link - they were all over it because Uday was the former Olympic Chairman for Iraq (or equivalent title). That was a little strange.
kind of a stretch, eh weedy? either way, the saddam brothers thing was everywhere that day, so good job to espn for keeping the kiddies tuned in...i didn't click on it. as for b.hope, he was a bitter, old...i mean, i liked the guy, but i think the generational gap explains my lack of sincere remorse. having few memories of someone makes it hard to have personal memorial in my head. nothing bad to say, espcially about a USO guy, just not that attached is all.
In defense of ESPN's story on the death of the Hussein brothers, they played a huge role in athletics in Iraq. I think ESPN would have been remiss if they hadn't said something about the deaths, especially since the two were a large reason the Iraqis haven't fielded an Olypmic squad since 1988. I would like to see something about how the Olympic teams are being handled in the aftermath. And as a matter of fact, here and here is a little info on just that.
Olypmic ... I think I have stock in that company.
I do believe the website in question, the one that had the prepared death announcements was CNN.com.
The Smoking Gun has CNN's ready-to-go obits
Dick Cheney.... I wish. He's probably bionic.
