Good Evening. I'm Jean Jadhon.
Reaction to the killings of Uday and Kusay Hussein is no doubt mixed in Iraq.
One Iraqi man said "so what- it's not Saddam."
Another welcomed the news and said it's a sign better days are ahead.
Either way it is a major victory for the allied forces who've been knocking down Iraq's most wanted one by one.

The favorite going in was of course Dot Bolling - who began the day in search of her 9th straight title and 13th overall. Dot shot a first round of 73, which could have even been better, but it's good enough to earn her a share of the first round lead. She shares it with Janet Cochrane, who rode a hot putter to a 34 on the backside and a round of 73, as well. Cochrane and Bolling have just a one shot lead over Meg Davies - the JMU golfer who is at 74. Round two of the 54 hole tournament is tomorrow at Hunting Hills with Bolling the one to beat. The final round is Thursday at the Roanoke Country Club.
