aggienaut At 1800 hours Iraqi time yesterday US forces moved in on two objectives code-named Wolverine 1 & 2 in the area of Tikrit, from which they captured two AK47s, one pistol, one orange and white taxi, two important Iraqi personnel, $750,000, and, in a hole outside the house, Saddam Hussain.
Mr Hussain was taken without violence by US forces and has been determined to be in good health. He was found with a shaggy grey beard, which subsequently was shaved off to restore his previous trademark mustacheoed appearance. He is currently in US custody and likely will face trial by the recently formed Iraqi War Crimes tribunal, which consisted of 15 Iraqi judges.
As to my day, I was up all night last night writing the two papers due for POL154 this afternoon. In the end I finished the last one moments before it was due at 13:30. The first paper I felt very good about, but my brain was dead by the time I was writing the second and in it I did little more than demonstrate my understanding of the relevant reading and then ramble semicoherently about my positivist beliefs on the subject.
Also had the POL121 final this morning. Once I arrived home I immediately went to sleep (having only taken an hour long nap friday night), and slept for the rest of the afternoon, waking up at around 9pm. At about 3am "today" I discovered Adrian passed out in the living room with the TV covering breaking news on Saddam's capture. I proceeded to pillage Adrian's delicious trader joe's bread.
Finally it is christmas break.
18th Century legal theorist Jeremy Bentham stated that the idea of uncodified moral rights was "nonsense on stilts." I think Jeremy Bentham is awesome. He also coined the terms "international," "maximize," "minimize," and "codification."

Thankyou for your concern.
