My stetement today regarding the capture of Saddam Hussein
By Harry Reid*1

Saddam Hussein was a murderer, a thief and a tyrant. His capture is a major victory of our brave U.S. troops, particularly the 4th Infantry Division and Special Operations Forces that carried out this mission. It is also especially important for the Iraqi people, who now know that the fallen dictator will not be coming back to power and that he will finally be held accountable for his thousands of crimes and many years of brutality.

As I said yesterday in a radio address to the nation, removing Saddam Hussein from power was critically important. His capture today is equally important. I hope it will send strong signal to the remaining terrorists and insurgents operating in Iraq that their days are short in number.

As the president said earlier today, Saddam's capture does not mean the end of violence in Iraq, or an end to the threat to American roops. But today is a major step forward, and all Americans can take great pride in the bravery and professionalism that our military forces continue to display.*2
