Metafilter - They're not too happy over there. There's one hilarious comment that complains about the "humiliating and degrading" treatment Saddam is receiving by having his examination videotaped. Someone has also started a caption contest with the Saddam picture, and some of the responses are pretty funny.

Democratic Underground - Yes, these "patriotic" folks are celebrating the capture of Saddam by spawning discussion groups with titles like "No one in "Saddam Captured" press conf metioned 9-11 or terra?" and "CNN Reporting that this was a Tip from an Iraqi. Not good analysts". Not one story or post or discussion group about how good it is to have Saddam in custody. So far, there hasn't been a lot of comments in these threads, but then again people really haven't quite woken up yet.
