Tikritis want Saddam back

thanks to juan cole for pointing me to this juicy little tidbit buried in the LAST of 26 paragraphs in the age, an australian newspaper...

Meanwhile in Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit, about 3,000 people demonstrated outside a downtown mosque then marched through the streets to demand the return of the former dictator to power.

my guess is that there's probably nothing whatsoever on this in u.s. media, and, if there is, it's at least as well-hidden...
