One big scary, dysfunctional family
Ed Johnson at the AP reports Saddam Sacks Commander of Air Defenses:
Saddam Hussein has fired his commander of air defenses as U.S.-led forces claimed control of 95 percent of Iraq's sky, the British government said Saturday.

Prime Minister Tony Blair official spokesman said Saddam had sacked his cousin, Musahim Saab al-Tikriti, and replaced him with Gen. Shahin Yasin Muhammad al-Tikriti.
No word on whether the sack was a body bag.
