You know what the reward is to capture saddam. you don't even need to capture saddam, just say where he is. it's $25 million. this is what i love about our priorities. we spend $25 million trying to get rid of saddam hussein. the republicans spend $50 million trying to get rid of gray davis. it doesn't seem quite right.

I think george mitchell was the right guy for the right time, and many people will note his spectacular foreign policy accomplishments, both in and out of office. i think all would note his devotion to maine; that was number one. the fact he did work in a bipartisan basis with bill cohen. and for me, he helped the first democratic woman get elected.
