(2004-01-23) -- The U.S. military announced today that it will fill Saddam Hussein's spider hole with reams of paper printed with 12 years of United Nations Security Council resolutions and transcripts from U.N. meetings on what to do about Mr. Hussein's regime.
Soldiers from the U.S. 4th Infantry Division pulled the former dictator from the grave-like pit near Tikrit, Iraq, on December 13, definitively ending Mr. Hussein's 25-year reign of terror.
"It's a symbolic location," said an unnamed spokesman for the 4th Infantry Division. "We wanted to recognize the contribution of the United Nations and find some practical use for all of those discussions and resolutions."
U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan welcomed the action, saying, "The United Nations has always filled the void in geostrategic diplomacy left by empire-building unilateralists."
